\d A psalm of Asaph.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 1 The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, has spoken
|
|
\q and called the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
|
|
\q God has shone.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 Our God comes and does not stay silent;
|
|
\q a fire devours before him,
|
|
\q and it is very stormy around him.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 He calls to the heavens above
|
|
\q and to the earth so that he may judge his people:
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 "Gather my faithful ones together to me,
|
|
\q those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 The heavens will declare his righteousness,
|
|
\q for God himself is judge.

\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 "Hear, my people, and I will speak;
|
|
\q I am God, your God.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 I will not reprove you for your sacrifices;
|
|
\q your burnt offerings are always before me.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 I will take no bull out of your house,
|
|
\q or male goats out of your folds.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 For every beast of the forest is mine,
|
|
\q and the cattle on a thousand hills.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 I know all the birds of the mountains,
|
|
\q and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you;
|
|
\q for the world is mine, and everything in it.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls
|
|
\q or drink the blood of goats?
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 14 Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
|
|
\q and pay your vows to the Most High.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 15 Call on me in the day of trouble;
|
|
\q I will rescue you, and you will glorify me."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 16 But to the wicked God says,
|
|
\q "What have you to do with declaring my statutes,
|
|
\q that you have taken my covenant in your mouth,
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 17 since you hate instruction
|
|
\q and throw my words away?
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 18 When you see a thief, you agree with him;
|
|
\q you participate with those who commit adultery.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 19 You give your mouth to evil,
|
|
\q and your tongue expresses deceit.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 20 You sit and speak against your brother;
|
|
\q you slander your own mother's son.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 21 You have done these things, but I have kept silent,
|
|
\q so you thought that I was someone just like yourself.
|
|
\q But I will reprove you and bring up, right before your eyes, all the things you have done.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 22 Give this careful consideration, you who forget God,
|
|
\q otherwise I will tear you to pieces,
|
|
\q and there will be no one to come to help you!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 23 The one who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving praises me,
|
|
\q and to anyone who plans his path in the right way
|
|
\q I will show God's salvation."
