The Book of Psalms

 

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.
