¹ A psalm for Asaph. 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:	¹ Unto the end. A Psalm of David,
² out of Sion the loveliness of his beauty.	² when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he went to Bathsheba.
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.	³ Be merciful to me, O God, according to your great mercy. And, according to the plentitude of your compassion, wipe out my iniquity.
⁴ He shall call heaven from above, and the earth, to judge his people.	⁴ Wash me once again from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
⁵ Gather ye together his saints to him: who set his covenant before sacrifices.	⁵ For I know my iniquity, and my sin is ever before me.
⁶ And the heavens shall declare his justice: for God is judge.	⁶ Against you only have I sinned, and I have done evil before your eyes. And so, you are justified in your words, and you will prevail when you give judgment.
⁷ Hear, O my people, and I will speak: O Israel, and I will testify to thee: I am God, thy God.	⁷ For behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sinfulness did my mother conceive me.
⁸ I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices: and thy burnt offerings are always in my sight.	⁸ For behold, you have loved truth. The obscure and hidden things of your wisdom, you have manifested to me.
⁹ I will not take calves out of thy house: nor he goats out of thy flocks.	⁹ You will sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed. You will wash me, and I will be made whiter than snow.
¹⁰ For all the beasts of the woods are mine: the cattle on the hills, and the oxen.	¹⁰ In my hearing, you will grant gladness and rejoicing. And the bones that have been humbled will exult.
¹¹ I know all the fowls of the air: and with me is the beauty of the field.	¹¹ Turn your face away from my sins, and erase all my iniquities.
¹² If I should be hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.	¹² Create a clean heart in me, O God. And renew an upright spirit within my inmost being.
¹³ Shall I eat the flesh of bullocks? or shall I drink the blood of goats?	¹³ Do not cast me away from your face; and do not take your Holy Spirit from me.
¹⁴ Offer to God the sacrifice of praise: and pay thy vows to the most High.	¹⁴ Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and confirm me with an unsurpassed spirit.
¹⁵ And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.	¹⁵ I will teach the unjust your ways, and the impious will be converted to you.
¹⁶ But to the sinner God hath said: Why dost thou declare my justices, and take my covenant in thy mouth ?	¹⁶ Free me from blood, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue will extol your justice.
¹⁷ Seeing thou hast hated discipline: and hast cast my words behind thee.	¹⁷ O Lord, you will open my lips, and my mouth will announce your praise.
¹⁸ If thou didst see a thief thou didst run with him: and with adulterers thou hast been a partaker.	¹⁸ For if you had desired sacrifice, I would certainly have given it, but with holocausts, you will not be delighted.
¹⁹ Thy mouth hath abounded with evil, and thy tongue framed deceits.	¹⁹ A crushed spirit is a sacrifice to God. A contrite and humbled heart, O God, you will not spurn.
²⁰ Sitting thou didst speak against thy brother, and didst lay a scandal against thy mother's son:	²⁰ Act kindly, Lord, in your good will toward Zion, so that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.
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.	²¹ Then you will accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations, and holocausts. Then they will lay calves upon your altar.
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.
