1A psalm of Asaph. The Lord God has spoken: He summons the earth from sunrise to sunset.
2From Zion, perfection of beauty, God's glory shines forth.
3Our God comes, he cannot keep silence, devouring fire is before him, and furious tempest around him.
4He summons the heavens above and the earth to judge his people.
5Gather to him his saints by covenant-sacrifice bound to him;
6that the heavens may declare his justice, for a God of justice is he. Selah
7“Hear, O my people, and I will speak, and protest to you, O Israel: I am the Lord, your God.
8Not for your sacrifices will I reprove you your burnt-offerings are ever before me
9Not a bullock will I take from your house, nor he-goats out of your folds;
10for all beasts of the forest are mine, and the kine on a thousand hills.
11I know all the birds of the air, all that moves on the fields is mine.
12Were I hungry, I would not tell you, for the world and its fulness are mine.
