A Psalm by Asaph.
[1] The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, speaks,and calls the earth from sunrise to sunset.
[2] Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
God shines out.
[3] Our God comes, and does not keep silent.
A fire devours before him.
It is very stormy around him.
[4] He calls to the heavens above,
to the earth, that he may judge his people:
[5] “Gather my saints together to me,
those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”
[6] The heavens shall declare his righteousness,
for God himself is judge.
Selah. [7] “Hear, my people, and I will speak.
Israel, I will testify against you.
I am God, your God.
[8] I don’t rebuke you for your sacrifices.
Your burnt offerings are continually before me.
[9] I have no need for a bull from your stall,
nor male goats from your pens.
[10] For every animal of the forest is mine,
and the livestock on a thousand hills.
[11] I know all the birds of the mountains.
The wild animals of the field are mine.
[12] If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
for the world is mine, and all that is in it.
[13] Will I eat the meat of bulls,
or drink the blood of goats?
[14] Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving.
Pay your vows to the Most High.
[15] Call on me in the day of trouble.
I will deliver you, and you will honor me.” [16] But to the wicked God says,
“What right do you have to declare my statutes,
that you have taken my covenant on your lips,
[17] since you hate instruction,
and throw my words behind you?
[18] When you saw a thief, you consented with him,
and have participated with adulterers. [19] “You give your mouth to evil.
Your tongue frames deceit.
[20] You sit and speak against your brother.
You slander your own mother’s son.
[21] You have done these things, and I kept silent.
You thought that I was just like you.
I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes. [22] “Now consider this, you who forget God,
lest I tear you into pieces, and there be no one to deliver.
[23] Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me,
and prepares his way so that I will show God’s salvation to him.”
King James Version
A Psalm H4210 of Asaph. H623
[1] The mighty H410 God, H430 even the Lord, H3068 hath spoken, H1696 (PielPerf)And called H7121 (QalImpf) the earth H776 from the rising H4217 of the sun H8121 unto the going down H3996 thereof.
[2] Out of Zion, H6726 the perfection H4359 of beauty, H3308
God H430 hath shined. H3313 (HiphPerf)
[3] Our God H430 shall come, H935 (QalImpf) and shall not keep silence: H2790 (QalImpf)
A fire H784 shall devour H398 (QalImpf) before H6440 him, and it shall be very H3966 tempestuous H8175 (NiphPerf) round about H5439 him.
[4] He shall call H7121 (QalImpf) to the heavens H8064 from above, H5920
And to the earth, H776 that he may judge H1777 (QalInf) his people. H5971
[5] Gather H622 (QalImpv) my saints H2623 together unto me;
Those that have made H3772 (QalActPtc) a covenant H1285 with me by sacrifice. H2077
[6] And the heavens H8064 shall declare H5046 (HiphImpf) his righteousness: H6664
For God H430 is judge H8199 (QalActPtc) himself. Selah. H5542
[7] Hear, H8085 (QalImpv) O my people, H5971 and I will speak; H1696 (PielImpf)
O Israel, H3478 and I will testify H5749 (HiphImpf) against thee: I am God, H430 even thy God. H430
[8] I will not reprove H3198 (HiphImpf) thee for thy sacrifices H2077
Or thy burnt offerings, H5930 to have been continually H8548 before me.
[9] I will take H3947 (QalImpf) no bullock H6499 out of thy house, H1004
Nor he goats H6260 out of thy folds. H4356
[10] For every beast H2416 of the forest H3293 is mine,
And the cattle H929 upon a thousand H505 hills. H2042
[11] I know H3045 (QalPerf) all the fowls H5775 of the mountains: H2022
And the wild beasts H2123 of the field H7704 are mine.§ H5978
[12] If I were hungry, H7456 (QalImpf) I would not tell H559 (QalImpf) thee:
For the world H8398 is mine, and the fulness H4393 thereof.
[13] Will I eat H398 (QalImpf) the flesh H1320 of bulls, H47
Or drink H8354 (QalImpf) the blood H1818 of goats? H6260
[14] Offer H2076 (QalImpv) unto God H430 thanksgiving; H8426
And pay H7999 (PielImpv) thy vows H5088 unto the most High: H5945
[15] And call H7121 (QalImpv) upon me in the day H3117 of trouble: H6869
I will deliver H2502 (PielImpf) thee, and thou shalt glorify H3513 (PielImpf) me.
[16] But unto the wicked H7563 God H430 saith, H559 (QalPerf)
What hast thou to do to declare H5608 (PielInf) my statutes, H2706 or that thou shouldest take H5375 (QalImpf) my covenant H1285 in thy mouth? H6310
[17] Seeing thou hatest H8130 (QalPerf) instruction, H4148
And castest H7993 (HiphImpf) my words H1697 behind H310 thee.
[18] When thou sawest H7200 (QalPerf) a thief, H1590 then thou consentedst H7521 (QalImpf) with him,
And hast been partaker H2506 with adulterers. H5003 (PielPtc)§
[19] Thou givest H7971 (QalPerf)§ thy mouth H6310 to evil, H7451
And thy tongue H3956 frameth H6775 (HiphImpf) deceit. H4820
[20] Thou sittest H3427 (QalImpf) and speakest H1696 (PielImpf) against thy brother; H251
Thou H5414 (QalImpf) slanderest H1848 thine own mother’s H517 son. H1121
[21] These things hast thou done, H6213 (QalPerf) and I kept silence; H2790 (HiphPerf)
Thou thoughtest H1819 (PielPerf) that I was altogether H1961 (QalInf) such an one as thyself:
But I will reprove H3198 (HiphImpf) thee, and set them in order H6186 (QalImpf) before thine eyes. H5869
[22] Now consider H995 (QalImpv) this, ye that forget H7911 (QalActPtc) God, H433
Lest I tear you in pieces, H2963 (QalImpf) and there be none to deliver. H5337 (HiphPtc)
[23] Whoso offereth H2076 (QalActPtc) praise H8426 glorifieth H3513 (PielImpf) me:
And to him that ordereth H7760 (QalPerf) his conversation§ H1870 aright will I shew H7200 (HiphImpf) the salvation H3468 of God. H430
