Psalms 49 (Douay-Rheims)
Passage
A psalm for Asaph. The God of gods, the Lord has spoken: and he has called the earth. From the rising of the sun, to the going down thereof: Out of Sion the loveliness of his beauty. 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. He shall call heaven from above, and the earth, to judge his people. Gather you together his saints to him: who set his covenant before sacrifices. And the heavens shall declare his justice: for God is judge. Hear, O my people, and I will speak: O Israel, and I will testify to you: I am God, your God. I will not reprove you for your sacrifices: and your burnt offerings are always in my sight. I will not take calves out of your house: nor he goats out of your flocks. For all the beasts of the woods are mine: the cattle on the hills, and the oxen. I know all the fowls of the air: and with me is the beauty of the field. If I should be hungry, I would not tell you: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof. Shall I eat the flesh of bullocks? or shall I drink the blood of goats? Offer to God the sacrifice of praise: and pay your vows to the most High. And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me. But to the sinner God has said: Why do you declare my justices, and take my covenant in your mouth? Seeing have hated discipline: and have cast my words behind you. If you did see a thief you did run with him: and with adulterers you have been a partaker. Your mouth has abounded with evil, and your tongue framed deceits. Sitting did speak against your brother, and did lay a scandal against your mother's son: These things have you done, and I was silent. You thought unjustly that I should be like to you: but I will reprove you, and set before your face. Understand these things, you that forget God; lest he snatch you away, and there be none to deliver you. The sacrifice of praise shall glorify me: and there is the way by which I will show him the salvation of God.
