ADONAI, the Most High God has spoken,
calling the earth from the rising of the sun until its setting

PSALM 49
Deus deorum Dominus locutus est,
et vocavit terram a solis ortu usque ad occasum

^VUCPsalm 49:1 Psalmus Asaph

^DRAPsalm 49:1 A psalm for Asaph.

Deus deorum Dominus locutus est, et vocavit terram a solis ortu usque ad occasum.

The God of gods, the Lord hath spoken: and he hath called the earth. From the rising of the sun, to the going down thereof:

² Ex Sion species decoris ejus:

³ Deus manifeste veniet; Deus noster, et non silebit. Ignis in conspectu ejus exardescet; et in circuitu ejus tempestas valida.

⁴ Advocabit caelum desursum, et terram, discernere populum suum.

⁵ Congregate illi sanctos ejus, qui ordinant testamentum ejus super sacrificia.

⁶ Et annuntiabunt caeli justitiam ejus, quoniam Deus judex est.

⁷ Audi, populus meus, et loquar; Israël, et testificabor tibi: Deus, Deus tuus ego sum.

⁸ Non in sacrificiis tuis arguam te; holocausta autem tua in conspectu meo sunt semper.

⁹ Non accipiam de domo tua vitulos, neque de gregibus tuis hircos:

¹⁰ quoniam meae sunt omnes ferae silvarum, jumenta in montibus, et boves.

¹¹ Cognovi omnia volatilia caeli, et pulchritudo agri mecum est.

¹² Si esuriero, non dicam tibi: meus est enim orbis terrae et plenitudo ejus.

¹³ Numquid manducabo carnes taurorum? aut sanguinem hircorum potabo?

¹⁴ Immola Deo sacrificium laudis, et redde Altissimo vota tua.

¹⁵ Et invoca me in die tribulationis: eruam te, et honorificabis me.

¹⁶ Peccatori autem dixit Deus: Quare tu enarras justitias meas? et assumis testamentum meum per os tuum?

¹⁷ Tu vero odisti disciplinam, et projecisti sermones meos retrorsum.

¹⁸ Si videbas furem, currebas cum eo; et cum adulteris portionem tuam ponebas.

¹⁹ Os tuum abundavit malitia, et lingua tua concinnabat dolos.

²⁰ Sedens adversus fratrem tuum loquebaris, et adversus filium matris tuae ponebas scandalum.

²¹ Haec fecisti, et tacui. Existimasti inique quod ero tui similis: arguam te, et statuam contra faciem tuam.

²² Intelligite haec, qui obliviscimini Deum, nequando rapiat, et non sit qui eripiat.

²³ Sacrificium laudis honorificabit me, et illic iter quo ostendam illi salutare Dei.

² Out of Sion the loveliness of his beauty.

³ God shall come manifestly: our God shall come, and shall not keep silence. A fire shall burn before him: and a mighty tempest shall be round about him.

⁴ He shall call heaven from above, and the earth, to judge his people.

⁵ Gather ye together his saints to him: who set his covenant before sacrifices.

⁶ And the heavens shall declare his justice: for God is judge.

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

⁸ I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices: and thy burnt offerings are always in my sight.

⁹ I will not take calves out of thy house: nor he goats out of thy flocks.

¹⁰ For all the beasts of the woods are mine: the cattle on the hills, and the oxen.

¹¹ I know all the fowls of the air: and with me is the beauty of the field.

¹² If I should be hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

¹³ Shall I eat the flesh of bullocks? or shall I 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 trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

¹⁶ But to the sinner God hath said: Why dost thou declare my justices, and take my covenant in thy mouth?

¹⁷ Seeing thou hast hated discipline: and hast cast my words behind thee.

¹⁸ If thou didst see a thief thou didst run with him: and with adulterers thou hast been a partaker.

¹⁹ Thy mouth hath abounded with evil, and thy tongue framed deceits.

²⁰ Sitting thou didst speak against thy brother, and didst lay a scandal against thy mother's son:

²¹ These things hast thou done, and I was silent. Thou thoughtest unjustly that I should be like to thee: but I will reprove thee, and set before thy face.

²² Understand these things, you that forget God; lest he snatch you away, and there be none to deliver you.

²³ The sacrifice of praise shall glorify me: and there is the way by which I will shew him the salvation of God.
