49:0 ^[299] KJV Chapter [50] A Psalm of Asaph:

49:1 The mighty God, [even] the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof:

49:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined:

49:3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him:

49:4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people:

49:5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice:

49:6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God [is] judge himself. Selah:

49:7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I [am] God, [even] thy God:

49:8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, [to have been] continually before me:

49:9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, [nor] he goats out of thy folds:

49:10 For every beast of the forest [is] mine, [and] the cattle upon a thousand hills:

49:11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field [are] mine:

49:12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world [is] mine, and the fulness thereof:

49:13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats:

49:14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:

49:15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me:

49:16 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:

49:17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee:

49:18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers:

49:19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit:

49:20 Thou sittest [and] speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother' s son:

49:21 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:

49:22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear [you] in pieces, and [there be] none to deliver:

49:23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth [his] conversation [aright] will I shew the salvation of God:
