The Holy Bible: King James Version. 2000.
God Is the Judge |
|
| 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,
|
| 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 a 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 show the salvation of God. |
|
