engLXXup: Psalms 49

=> Chapters

 [1] A Psalm for Asaph.

The God of gods, the Lord, has spoken, and called the earth

From the rising of the sun to the going down thereof.

[2] Out of Zion comes the excellence of his beauty.

[3] God, our God, shall come manifestly,

And shall not keep silence:

A fire shall be kindled before him,

And round about him there shall be a very great tempest.

[4] He shall summon the heaven above,

And the earth, that he may judge his people.

[5] Assemble ye his saints to him,

Those that have engaged in a covenant with him upon sacrifices.

[6] And the heavens shall declare his righteousness:

For God is judge. Pause.

[7] Hear, my people, and I will speak to thee, O Israel:

And I will testify to thee:

I am God, thy God.

[8] I will not reprove thee on account of thy sacrifices;

For thy whole burnt offerings are before me continually.

[9] I will take no bullocks out of thy house,

Nor he-goats out of thy flocks.

[10] For all the wild beasts of the thicket are mine,

The cattle on the mountains, and oxen.

[11] I know all the birds of the sky;

And the beauty of the field is mine.

[12] If I should be hungry, I will not tell thee:

For the world is mine, and the fullness of it.

[13] Will I eat the flesh of bulls,

Or 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 affliction;

And I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. Pause.

[16] But to the sinner God has said,

Why dost thou declare my ordinances,

And take up my covenant in thy mouth?

[17] Whereas thou hast hated instruction,

And hast cast my words behind thee.

[18] If thou sawest a thief, thou rannest along with him,

And hast cast in thy lot with adulterers.

[19] Thy mouth has multiplied wickedness,

And thy tongue has framed deceit.

[20] Thou didst sit and speak against thy brother,

And didst scandalize thy mother’s son.

[21] These things thou didst, and I kept silence:

Thou thoughtest wickedly that I should be like thee;

But I will reprove thee, and set thine offenses before thee.

[22] Now consider these things, ye that forget God,

Lest he rend you, and there be no deliverer.

[23] The sacrifice of praise will glorify me:

And that is the way wherein I will show to him the salvation of God.
