The Lord, even the Most Mighty | God, hath spoken,

* and called the world, from the rising up of the sun unto the | going down thereof.

2 Out of Sion hath | God appeared

* in | per-fect beauty.

3 Our God shall come, and shall | not keep silence;

* there shall go before him a consuming fire, and a mighty tempest shall be | stirred up round about him.

4 He shall call the heaven | from above,

* and the earth, that | he may judge his people.

5 Gather my saints together | unto me;

* those that have made a covenant with | me with sacrifice.

6 And the heavens shall de- | -clare his righteousness;

* for | God is Judge himself.

7 Hear, O my people, and | I will speak;

* I myself will testify against thee, O Israel; for I am God, | even thy God.

8 I will not reprove thee because of thy | sacrifices;

* as for thy burnt-offerings, | they are •alway• before me.

9 I will take no bullock | out of• thine house,

* nor | he-goats •out of• thy folds.

10 For all the beasts of the | forest• are mine,

* and so are the cattle up- | -on a thousand hills.

11 I know all the fowls up- | -on the mountains,

* and the wild beasts of the | field are in my sight.

12 If I be hungry, I will | not tell thee;

* for the whole world is mine, and | all that is therein.

13 Thinkest thou that I will | eat bulls' flesh,

* and | drink the blood of goats?

14 Offer unto God | thanksgiving,

* and pay thy vows | unto• the Most Highest.

15 And call upon me in the | time of trouble;

* so will I hear thee, and | thou shalt praise me.

16 But unto the ungodly | saith God,

* Why dost thou preach my laws, and takest my | cove•nant in thy mouth;

17 Whereas thou hatest to | be reformed,

* and hast | cast my words behind thee?

18 When thou sawest a thief, thou consentedst | unto him;

* and hast been par- | -taker with •the a•dulterers.

19 Thou hast let thy | mouth speak wickedness,

* and with thy tongue thou hast | set forth deceit.

20 Thou sattest and spakest a- | -gainst thy brother;

* yea, and hast slandered thine | own mother's son.

21 These things hast thou done, and I held my tongue, and thou thoughtest wickedly, that I am even such a one | as thyself;

* but I will reprove thee, and set before thee the | things that thou hast done.

22 O consider this, ye that for- | -get God,

* lest I pluck you away, and there be none | to deliver you.

23 Whoso offereth me thanks and praise, he | honour•eth me;

* and to him that ordereth his way aright, will I | show the• sal•vation• of God.

Glory be to the Father, and | to the Son,

* and | to the Holy Ghost,

As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever shall be,

* world without | end.  Amen.
