Psalms 49:1-8

¹A psalm for Asaph. The God of gods, the Lord hath spoken: and he hath called the earth. From the rising of the sun, to the going down thereof:

²Out of Sion the loveliness of his beauty.

³God shall come manifestly: our God shall come, and shall not keep silence. A fire shall burn before him: and a mighty tempest shall be round about him.

⁴He shall call heaven from above, and the earth, to judge his people.

⁵Gather ye together his saints to him: who set his covenant before sacrifices.

⁶And the heavens shall declare his justice: for God is judge.

⁷Hear, O my people, and I will speak: O Israel, and I will testify to thee: I am God, thy God.

⁸I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices: and thy burnt offerings are always in my sight.
