DEUS DEORUM.
1 The Lord, even the most mighty | God, hath | spoken ||
and called the world, from the rising up of the | sun un•to the | going | down there•of. ||
2 Out of Sion hath God appeared in | perfect | beauty. ||
3 Our God shall | come, • and shall | not keep | silence ||
there shall go before him a con- | suming | fire, ||
and a mighty tempest shall be | stirred up | round a- | bout him. ||
4 He shall call the | heaven • from a- | bove ||
and the | earth, that • he may | judge his | people. ||
5 Gather my saints to- | gether | unto • me ||
those that have made a | cove•nant with | me with | sacri•fice. ||
6 And the heavens shall de- | clare his | righteous•ness ||
for | God is | Judge him- | self. ||
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, * 3 or | for thy • burnt | offer•ings ||
because they | were not | 3 alway be- | fore me. ||
9 I will take no bullock | 3 out of thine | house ||
nor | he-goat | 3 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 there•in. ||
13 Thinkest thou that I will | eat bulls' | flesh ||
and | drink the | blood of | goats? ||
14 Offer unto God thanksgiving, * and pay thy 3 vows un- | to 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 un- | 3 godly said | God ||
Why dost thou preach my laws, and takest my | cove•nant | in thy | mouth; ||
17 Whereas thou | hatest to • be re- | formed ||
and hast | cast my | words be- | hind thee? ||
18 When thou sawest a | thief, • thou con- | sentedst • unto him ||
and hast been par- | taker | with • the a- | dulter•ers. ||
19 Thou hast let thy | mouth speak | wicked•ness ||
and with thy | tongue • thou hast | set • forth de- | ceit. ||
20 Thou satest, 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 thy- | self ||
but I will reprove thee, and set be- | fore • thee the | things that • thou hast | done. ||
22 O consider this, | ye that for•get | God ||
lest I pluck you away, 3 and | there be | none • to de- | liver • you. ||
23 Whoso offereth me thanks and | praise, he | honoureth • me ||
and to him that ordereth his conversation right will I | 3 shew the sal- | 3 vation of | God. ||
Glory | be • to the | Father, ||
and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||
As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||
is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
