1 A Psalm of Asaph. The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising to the setting of the sun.

1 מִזְמֹ֗ור לְאָ֫סָ֥ף אֵ֤ל׀ אֱ‍ֽלֹהִ֡ים יְֽהוָ֗ה דִּבֶּ֥ר וַיִּקְרָא־אָ֑רֶץ מִמִּזְרַחשֶ֝֗־מֶשׁ עַד־מְבֹאֹֽו׃

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

2 מִצִּיֹּ֥ון מִכְלַל־יֹ֗פִי אֱלֹהִ֥ים הֹופִֽיעַ׃

3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous around him.

3 יָ֤בֹ֥א אֱלֹהֵ֗ינוּ וְֽאַל־יֶ֫חֱרַ֥שׁ אֵשׁ־לְפָנָ֥יו תֹּאכֵ֑ל וּ֝סְבִיבָ֗יו נִשְׂעֲרָ֥ה מְאֹֽד׃

4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.

4 יִקְרָ֣א אֶל־הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם מֵעָ֑ל וְאֶל־הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ לָדִ֥ין עַמֹּֽו׃

5 Gather my saints together to me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.

5 אִסְפוּ־לִ֥י חֲסִידָ֑י כֹּרְתֵ֖י בְרִיתִ֣י עֲלֵי־זָֽבַח׃

6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.

6 וַיַּגִּ֣ידוּ שָׁמַ֣יִם צִדְקֹ֑ו כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִ֓ים׀ שֹׁפֵ֖ט ה֣וּא סֶֽלָה׃

7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.

7 שִׁמְעָ֤ה עַמִּ֨י׀ וַאֲדַבֵּ֗רָה יִ֭שְׂרָאֵל וְאָעִ֣ידָה בָּ֑ךְ אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֱלֹהֶ֣יךָ אָנֹֽכִי׃

8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt-offerings, to have been continually before me.

8 לֹ֣א עַל־זְ֭בָחֶיךָ אֹוכִיחֶ֑ךָ וְעֹולֹתֶ֖יךָ לְנֶגְדִּ֣י תָמִֽיד׃

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

9 לֹא־אֶקַּ֣ח מִבֵּיתְךָ֣ פָ֑ר מִ֝מִּכְלְאֹתֶ֗יךָ עַתּוּדִֽים׃

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

10 כִּי־לִ֥י כָל־חַיְתֹו־יָ֑עַר בְּ֝הֵמֹ֗ות בְּהַרְרֵי־אָֽלֶף׃

11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.

11 יָ֭דַעְתִּי כָּל־עֹ֣וף הָרִ֑ים וְזִ֥יז דַ֗י עִמָּדִֽי׃

12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fullness thereof.

12 אִם־אֶ֭רְעַב לֹא־אֹ֣מַר לָ֑ךְ כִּי־לִ֥י תֵ֝בֵ֗ל וּמְלֹאָֽהּ׃

13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

13 הַֽ֭אֹוכַל בְּשַׂ֣ר אַבִּירִ֑ים וְדַ֖ם עַתּוּדִ֣ים אֶשְׁתֶּֽה׃

14 Offer to God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows to the Most High:

14 זְבַ֣ח לֵאלֹהִ֣ים תֹּודָ֑ה וְשַׁלֵּ֖ם לְעֶלְיֹ֣ון נְדָרֶֽיךָ׃

15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

15 וּ֭קְרָאֵנִי בְּיֹ֣ום צָרָ֑ה אֲ֝חַלֶּצְךָ֗ וּֽתְכַבְּדֵֽנִי׃

16 But to the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?

16 וְלָ֤רָשָׁ֨ע׀ אָ֘מַ֤ר אֱלֹהִ֗ים מַה־לְּ֭ךָ לְסַפֵּ֣ר חֻקָּ֑י וַתִּשָּׂ֖א בְרִיתִ֣י עֲלֵי־פִֽיךָ׃

17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.

17 וְ֭אַתָּה שָׂנֵ֣אתָ מוּסָ֑ר וַתַּשְׁלֵ֖ךְ דְּבָרַ֣י אַחֲרֶֽיךָ׃

18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.

18 אִם־רָאִ֣יתָ גַ֭נָּב וַתִּ֣רֶץ עִמֹּ֑ו וְעִ֖ם מְנָאֲפִ֣ים חֶלְקֶֽךָ׃

19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.

19 פִּ֭יךָ שָׁלַ֣חְתָּ בְרָעָ֑ה וּ֝לְשֹׁונְךָ֗ תַּצְמִ֥יד מִרְמָֽה׃

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

20 תֵּ֭שֵׁב בְּאָחִ֣יךָ תְדַבֵּ֑ר בְּבֶֽן־אִ֝מְּךָ֗ תִּתֶּן־דֹּֽפִי׃

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.

21 אֵ֤לֶּה עָשִׂ֨יתָ׀ וְֽהֶחֱרַ֗שְׁתִּי דִּמִּ֗יתָ הֱֽיֹות־אֶֽהְיֶ֥ה כָמֹ֑וךָ אֹוכִיחֲךָ֖ וְאֶֽעֶרְכָ֣ה לְעֵינֶֽיךָ׃

22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.

22 בִּֽינוּ־נָ֣א זֹ֭את שֹׁכְחֵ֣י אֱלֹ֑והַּ פֶּן־אֶ֝טְרֹ֗ף וְאֵ֣ין מַצִּֽיל׃

23 Whoever offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his deportment aright will I show the salvation of God.

23 זֹבֵ֥חַ תֹּודָ֗ה יְֽכַ֫בְּדָ֥נְנִי וְשָׂ֥ם דֶּ֑רֶךְ אַ֝רְאֶ֗נּוּ בְּיֵ֣שַׁע אֱלֹהִֽים׃
