1
A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God the Lord, Has spoken and called the earth From the rising of the sun to its going down.
2
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God will shine forth.
3
Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent; A fire shall devour before Him, And it shall be very tempestuous all 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 who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice."
6
Let the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself is Judge. Selah
7
"Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you; I am God, your God!
8
I will not rebuke you for your sacrifices Or your burnt offerings, Which are continually before Me.
9
I will not take a bull from your house, Nor goats out of your folds.
10
For every beast of the forest is Mine, And the cattle on a thousand hills.
11
I know all the birds of the mountains, And the wild beasts of the field are Mine.
12
"If I were hungry, I would not tell you; For the world is Mine, and all its fullness.
13
Will I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats?
