501A Psalm of Asaph. The God of gods--Jehovah--hath spoken, And He calleth to the earth From the rising of the sun unto its going in.+2From Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shone.+3Our God cometh, and is not silent, Fire before Him doth devour, And round about him it hath been very tempestuous.+4He doth call unto the heavens from above, And unto the earth, to judge His people.+5Gather ye to Me My saints, Making covenant with Me over a sacrifice.+6And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself is judge. Selah.+7Hear, O My people, and I speak, O Israel, and I testify against thee, God, thy God am I.+8Not for thy sacrifices do I reprove thee, Yea, thy burnt-offerings Are before Me continually.+9I take not from thy house a bullock, From thy folds he goats.+10For Mine is every beast of the forest, The cattle on the hills of oxen.+11I have known every fowl of the mountains, And the wild beast of the field is with Me.+12If I am hungry I tell not to thee, For Mine is the world and its fulness.+13Do I eat the flesh of bulls, And drink the blood of he-goats?+14Sacrifice to God confession, And complete to the Most High thy vows.+15And call Me in a day of adversity, I deliver thee, and thou honourest Me.+16And to the wicked hath God said: What to thee--to recount My statutes? That thou liftest up My covenant on thy mouth?+17Yea, thou hast hated instruction, And dost cast My words behind thee.+18If thou hast seen a thief, Then thou art pleased with him, And with adulterers is thy portion.+19Thy mouth thou hast sent forth with evil, And thy tongue joineth deceit together,+20Thou sittest, against thy brother thou speakest, Against a son of thy mother givest slander.+21These thou didst, and I kept silent, Thou hast thought that I am like thee, I reprove thee, and set in array before thine eyes.+22Understand this, I pray you, Ye who are forgetting God, Lest I tear, and there is no deliverer.+23He who is sacrificing praise honoureth Me, As to him who maketh a way, I cause him to look on the salvation of God!+
