1 — The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken,
and called the earth from the rising of the sun
unto the going down thereof.
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 round about 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 unto 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 fulness thereof.
13 — Will I eat the flesh of bulls,
or drink the blood of goats?
14 — Offer unto God thanksgiving;
and pay thy vows unto the most High:
15 — And call upon me in the day of trouble:
I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
16 — But unto 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 thine 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 — Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me:
and to him that ordereth his conversation aright
will I shew the salvation of God.
