Psalms 65

1 I know all the fowls of the air: and with me is the beauty of the field. 2 If I should be hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof. 3 Shall I eat the flesh of bullocks? or shall I drink the blood of goats? 4 Offer to God the sacrifice of praise: and pay thy vows to the most High. 5 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. 6 But to the sinner God hath said: Why dost thou declare my justices, and take my covenant in thy mouth? 7 Seeing thou hast hated discipline: and hast cast my words behind thee. 8 If thou didst see a thief thou didst run with him: and with adulterers thou hast been a partaker. 9 Thy mouth hath abounded with evil, and thy tongue framed deceits. 10 Sitting thou didst speak against thy brother, and didst lay a scandal against thy mother’s son: 11 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. 12 Understand these things, you that forget God; lest he snatch you away, and there be none to deliver you. 13 The sacrifice of praise shall glorify me: and there is the way by which I will shew him the salvation of God.
