| 1 | Asafin psalmi. Jumala, Herra Jumala, on puhunut ja kutsunut koolle koko maanpiirin, idän ääriltä kaukaiseen länteen saakka. | <A Psalm. Of Asaph.> The God of gods, even the Lord, has sent out his voice, and the earth is full of fear; from the coming up of the sun to its going down. |
| 2 mapa | Siionista, täydellisen kauniista, Jumala ilmestyy kirkkaudessaan. | From Zion, most beautiful of places, God has sent out his light. |
| 3 | Meidän Jumalamme tulee, hän ei enää vaikene. Tuhon tuli kulkee hänen edellään, myrsky raivoaa hänen ympärillään. | Our God will come, and will not keep quiet; with fire burning before him, and storm-winds round him. |
| 4 | Hän kutsuu todistajikseen taivaan ja maan, hän vaatii kansansa tilille. | His voice will go out to the heavens and to the earth, for the judging of his people: |
| 5 | Kootkaa luokseni kaikki minun palvelijani, jotka ovat uhrein tehneet kanssani liiton. | Let my saints come together to me; those who have made an agreement with me by offerings. |
| 6 | Taivaat julistavat Jumalan vanhurskautta. Hän on oikeuden Jumala. (sela) | And let the heavens make clear his righteousness; for God himself is the judge. (Selah.) |
| 7 | En nuhtele sinua uhriesi tähden, sillä polttouhrisi ovat aina edessäni. | Give ear, O my people, to my words; O Israel, I will be a witness against you; I am God, even your God. |
| 8 | En vaadi härkää talostasi, en vuohia tarhoistasi, | I will not take up a cause against you because of your offerings, or because of your burned offerings, which are ever before me. |
| 9 | sillä minun ovat kaikki metsän eläimet, kaikki eläimet tuhansilla vuorilla. | I will take no ox out of your house, or he-goats from your flocks; |
| 10 | Minun ovat kaikki vuorten linnut ja laaksojen moninaiset eläimet. | For every beast of the woodland is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. |
| 11 | Jos minun olisi nälkä, en sanoisi sitä sinulle, sillä minun on koko maanpiiri, kaikki mitä on. | I see all the birds of the mountains, and the beasts of the field are mine. |
| 12 | Söisinkö härkien lihaa, joisinko vuohien verta? | If I had need of food, I would not give you word of it; for the earth is mine and all its wealth. |
| 13 | Anna Jumalalle uhriksi kiitos, täytä lupauksesi Korkeimmalle. | Am I to take the flesh of the ox for my food, or the blood of goats for my drink? |
| 14 | sinä, joka et ota vastaan ojennusta vaan heität käskyni selkäsi taakse? | Make an offering of praise to God; keep the agreements which you have made with the Most High; |
| 15 | Jos näet varkaan, otat hänet ystäväksi, pidät yhtä avionrikkojien kanssa. | Let your voice come up to me in the day of trouble; I will be your saviour, so that you may give glory to me. |
| 16 | Sinä annat suusi puhua pahaa, kielesi punoa petosta. | But to the sinner, God says, What are you doing, talking of my laws, or taking the words of my agreement in your mouth? |
| 17 | Sinä istut ja puhut pahaa veljestäsi, panettelet oman äitisi poikaa. | Seeing that you have no desire for my teaching, turning your back on my words. |
| 18 | Pysyisinkö hiljaa, kun sinä teet noin? Sinä luulet, että minä olen sinun kaltaisesi. Mutta minä panen sinut vastaamaan teoistasi, asetan sinut tuomiolle. | When you saw a thief, you were in agreement with him, and you were joined with those who took other men's wives. |
| 19 | Ymmärtäkää tämä, te jotka unohdatte Jumalan! Muuten minä raatelen teidät, eikä pelastajaa ole. | You have given your mouth to evil, your tongue to words of deceit. |
| 20 | You say evil of your brother; you make false statements against your mother's son. | |
| 21 | These things have you done, and I said nothing; it seemed to you that I was such a one as yourself; but I will make a protest against you, and put them in order before your eyes. | |
| 22 | Now keep this in mind, you who have no memory of God, for fear that you may be crushed under my hand, with no one to give you help: | |
| 23 | Whoever makes an offering of praise gives glory to me; and to him who is upright in his ways I will make clear the salvation of God. |
