1A Psalm. Of Asaph. The God of gods, even the Lord, has sent out his voice, and the earth is full of fear; from the coming up of the sun to its going down.
2From Zion, most beautiful of places, God has sent out his light.
3Our God will come, and will not keep quiet; with fire burning before him, and storm-winds round him.
4His voice will go out to the heavens and to the earth, for the judging of his people:
5Let my saints come together to me; those who have made an agreement with me by offerings.
6And let the heavens make clear his righteousness; for God himself is the judge. (Selah.)
7Give ear, O my people, to my words; O Israel, I will be a witness against you; I am God, even your God.
8I will not take up a cause against you because of your offerings, or because of your burned offerings, which are ever before me.
9I will take no ox out of your house, or he-goats from your flocks;
10For every beast of the woodland is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.
11I see all the birds of the mountains, and the beasts of the field are mine.
12If I had need of food, I would not give you word of it; for the earth is mine and all its wealth.
13Am I to take the flesh of the ox for my food, or the blood of goats for my drink?
14Make an offering of praise to God; keep the agreements which you have made with the Most High;
15Let your voice come up to me in the day of trouble; I will be your saviour, so that you may give glory to me.
16But to the sinner, God says, What are you doing, talking of my laws, or taking the words of my agreement in your mouth?
17Seeing that you have no desire for my teaching, turning your back on my words.
18When you saw a thief, you were in agreement with him, and you were joined with those who took other men's wives.
19You have given your mouth to evil, your tongue to words of deceit.
20You say evil of your brother; you make false statements against your mother's son.
21These things have you done, and I said nothing; it seemed to you that I was such a one as yourself; but I will make a protest against you, and put them in order before your eyes.
22Now keep this in mind, you who have no memory of God, for fear that you may be crushed under my hand, with no one to give you help:
