A Psalm of Asaph.
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.
1 in finem psalmus David 2 cum venit ad eum Nathan propheta quando intravit ad Bethsabee
3 Miserere mei Deus secundum ÷magnam: misericordiam tuam
÷et: secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum
dele iniquitatem meam
4 amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea et a peccato meo munda me
5 quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco
et peccatum meum contra me est semper
6 tibi soli peccavi et malum coram te feci
ut iustificeris in sermonibus tuis
et vincas cum iudicaris
7 ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum
et in peccatis concepit me mater mea
8 ecce enim veritatem dilexisti
incerta et occulta sapientiae tuae manifestasti mihi
9 asparges me hysopo et mundabor
lavabis me et super nivem dealbabor
10 auditui meo dabis gaudium et laetitiam
exultabunt ossa humiliata
11 averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis et omnes iniquitates meas dele
12 cor mundum crea in me Deus
et spiritum rectum innova in visceribus meis
13 ne proicias me a facie tua
et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me
14 redde mihi laetitiam salutaris tui et spiritu principali confirma me
15 docebo iniquos vias tuas et impii ad te convertentur
16 libera me de sanguinibus Deus Deus salutis meae
exultabit lingua mea iustitiam
tuam
17 Domine labia mea aperies et os meum adnuntiabit laudem tuam
18 quoniam si voluisses sacrificium dedissem utique
holocaustis non delectaberis
19 sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus
cor contritum et humiliatum Deus non spernet
20 benigne fac Domine in bona voluntate tua Sion
et aedificentur muri Hierusalem
21 tunc acceptabis sacrificium iustitiae oblationes et holocausta
tunc inponent super altare tuum vitulos
