Basic HTML Version
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
an 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 shew the salvation of God.
CHAPTER 51
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of
thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2
Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3
For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin
is
ever before me.
4
Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done
this
evil in thy sight: that thou mightest
be justified when thou speakest,
and
be clear when thou judgest.
5
Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6
Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden
part
thou shalt make me
to know wisdom.
7
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8
Make me to hear joy and gladness;
that
the bones
which
thou hast broken may rejoice.
