A Psalm of Asaph.

The Mighty One Calls

1The Mighty One, God, Jehovah, hath spoken, And called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.+ 2Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth.+ 3Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence: A fire devoureth before him, And it is very tempestuous round about him.+ 4He calleth to the heavens above, And to the earth, that he may judge his people:+ 5Gather my saints together unto me, Those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.+ 6And the heavens shall declare his righteousness; For God is judge himself. [Selah+ 7Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I am God, [even] thy God.+ 8I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; And thy burnt-offerings are continually before me.+ 9I will take no bullock out of thy house, Nor he-goats out of thy folds.+ 10For every beast of the forest is mine, And the cattle upon a thousand hills.+ 11I know all the birds of the mountains; And the wild beasts of the field are mine.+ 12If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; For the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.+ 13Will I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats?+ 14Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; And pay thy vows unto the Most High;+ 15And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.+ 16But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, And that thou hast taken my covenant in thy mouth,+ 17Seeing that thou hatest instruction, And castest my words behind thee?+ 18When thou sawest a thief, thou consentedst with him, And hast been partaker with adulterers.+ 19Thou givest thy mouth to evil, And thy tongue frameth deceit.+ 20Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; Thou slanderest thine own mother’s son.+ 21These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; Thou thoughtest that I was altogether such a one as thyself: [But] I will reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine eyes.+ 22Now consider this, ye that forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver:+ 23Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifieth me; And to him that ordereth his way [aright] Will I show the salvation of God.+
