1: A Psalm of Asaph. The mighty God, [even] the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising to the setting of the sun.
   2: Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
   3: Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous around him.
   4: He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
   5: Gather my saints together to me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
   6: And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God [is] judge himself. Selah.
   7: Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I [am] God, [even] thy God.
   8: I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt-offerings, [to have been] continually before me.
   9: I will take no bullock out of thy house, [nor] he-goats out of thy folds.
   10: For every beast of the forest [is] mine, [and] the cattle upon a thousand hills.
   11: I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field [are] mine.
   12: If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world [is] mine, and the fullness thereof.
   13: Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
   14: Offer to God thanksgiving; 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 wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or [that] thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
   17: Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.
   18: When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
   19: Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
   20: Thou sittest [and] speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thy own mother's son.
   21: These [things] hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether [such an one] as thyself: [but] I will reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine eyes.
   22: Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear [you] in pieces, and [there be] none to deliver.
   23: Whoever offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth [his] deportment [aright] will I show the salvation of God.
