A Psalm of Asaph. God, God, the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth From the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth.

Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence; a fire devoureth before Him, And round about Him it stormeth mightily.

And the heavens declare His righteousness; for God, He is judge. Selah

I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; and thy burnt-offerings are continually before Me.

I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he-goats out of thy folds.

For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.

If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the world is Mine, and the fulness thereof.

But unto the wicked God saith: 'What hast thou to do to declare My statutes, And that thou hast taken My covenant in thy mouth?

ve'atta saneta musar vattashlekh devaray acharekha
Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest My words behind thee.

When thou sawest a thief, thou hadst company with him, and with adulterers was thy portion.

pikha shalachta vera'a uleshonkha tatzmid mirma
Thou hast let loose thy mouth for evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. .

Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; Thou slanderest thine own mother's son.

elle asita vehecherashti dimmita heyot-ehye khamokha okhichakha ve'e'erkha le'enekha
These things hast thou done, and should I have kept silence? Thou hadst thought that I was altogether such a one as thyself; but I will reprove thee, and set the cause before thine eyes.
22בִּֽינוּ־נָ֣א זֹ֭את שֹׁכְחֵ֣י אֱל֑וֹהַּ פֶּן־אֶ֝טְרֹ֗ף וְאֵ֣ין מַצִּֽיל׃
binu-na zot shokhche eloah pen-etrof ve'en matzil
Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
23זֹבֵ֥חַ תּוֹדָ֗ה יְֽכַ֫בְּדָ֥נְנִי וְשָׂ֥ם דֶּ֑רֶךְ אַ֝רְאֶ֗נּוּ בְּיֵ֣שַׁע אֱלֹהִֽים׃
