Chapter 49

1

  A 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: 

 


2

  out of Sion the loveliness of his beauty. 

 


3

  God 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. 

 


4

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

 


5

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

 


6

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

 


7

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

 


8

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

 


9

  I will not take calves out of thy house: nor he goats out of thy flocks. 

 


10

  For all the beasts of the woods are mine: the cattle on the hills, and the oxen. 

 


11

  I know all the fowls of the air: and with me is the beauty of the field. 

 


12

  If I should be hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof. 

 


13

  Shall I eat the flesh of bullocks? or shall I drink the blood of goats? 

 


14

  Offer to God the sacrifice of praise: and pay thy vows to the most High. 

 


15

  And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. 

 


16

  But to the sinner God hath said: Why dost thou declare my justices, and take my covenant in thy mouth ? 

 


17

  Seeing thou hast hated discipline: and hast cast my words behind thee. 

 


18

  If thou didst see a thief thou didst run with him: and with adulterers thou hast been a partaker. 

 


19

  Thy mouth hath abounded with evil, and thy tongue framed deceits. 

 


20

  Sitting thou didst speak against thy brother, and didst lay a scandal against thy mother's son: 

 


21

  these things hast thou done, and I was silent. Thou thoughtest unjustly that I should be like to thee: but I will reprove thee, and set before thy face. 

 


22

  Understand these things, you that forget God; lest he snatch you away, and there be none to deliver you. 

 


23

  The sacrifice of praise shall glorify me: and there is the way by which I will shew him the salvation of God.
