Psalms Chapter 49
Deus deorum.
The coming of Christ: who prefers virtue and inward purity before the blood of victims.
49:1. A psalm for Asaph. The God of gods, the Lord hath spoken: and he hath called the earth. From the rising of the sun, to the going down thereof:
49:2. Out of Sion the loveliness of his beauty.
49:3. 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.
49:4. He shall call heaven from above, and the earth, to judge his people.
49:5. Gather ye together his saints to him: who set his covenant before sacrifices.
49:6. And the heavens shall declare his justice: for God is judge.
49:7. Hear, O my people, and I will speak: O Israel, and I will testify to thee: I am God, thy God.
