1A Psalm of Asaph. The God of gods--Jehovah--hath spoken, And He calleth to the earth From the rising of the sun unto its going in.
1Unto the end, a psalm of David,
2From Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shone.
2When Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had sinned with Bethsabee.
3Our God cometh, and is not silent, Fire before Him doth devour, And round about him it hath been very tempestuous.
3Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy. And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my iniquity.
4He doth call unto the heavens from above, And unto the earth, to judge His people.
4Wash me yet more from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
5Gather ye to Me My saints, Making covenant with Me over a sacrifice.
5For I know my iniquity, and my sin is always before me.
6And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself <FI>is<Fi> judge. Selah.
6To thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before thee: that thou mayst be justified in thy words, and mayst overcome when thou art judged.
7Hear, O My people, and I speak, O Israel, and I testify against thee, God, thy God <FI>am<Fi> I.
7For behold I was conceived in iniquities; and in sins did my mother conceive me.
8Not for thy sacrifices do I reprove thee, Yea, thy burnt-offerings <FI>Are<Fi> before Me continually.
8For behold thou hast loved truth: the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest to me.
9I take not from thy house a bullock, From thy folds he goats.
9Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
10For Mine <FI>is<Fi> every beast of the forest, The cattle on the hills of oxen.
10To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness: and the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.
11I have known every fowl of the mountains, And the wild beast of the field <FI>is<Fi> with Me.
11Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
12If I am hungry I tell not to thee, For Mine <FI>is<Fi> the world and its fulness.
12Create a clean heart in me, O God: and renew a right spirit within my bowels.
13Do I eat the flesh of bulls, And drink the blood of he-goats?
13Cast me not away from thy face; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
14Sacrifice to God confession, And complete to the Most High thy vows.
14Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and strengthen me with a perfect spirit.
15And call Me in a day of adversity, I deliver thee, and thou honourest Me.
15I will teach the unjust thy ways: and the wicked shall be converted to thee.
16And to the wicked hath God said: What to thee--to recount My statutes? That thou liftest up My covenant on thy mouth?
16Deliver me from blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall extol thy justice.
17Yea, thou hast hated instruction, And dost cast My words behind thee.
17O Lord, thou wilt open my lips: and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
18If thou hast seen a thief, Then thou art pleased with him, And with adulterers <FI>is<Fi> thy portion.
18For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would indeed have given it: with burnt offerings thou wilt not be delighted.
19Thy mouth thou hast sent forth with evil, And thy tongue joineth deceit together,
19A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
20Thou sittest, against thy brother thou speakest, Against a son of thy mother givest slander.
20Deal favourably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion; that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.
21These thou didst, and I kept silent, Thou hast thought that I am like thee, I reprove thee, and set in array before thine eyes.
21Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole burnt offerings: then shall they lay calves upon thy altar.
