Psalm 50 v. 1-13 Second Version (Tallis Ordinal CM)

1 The mighty God, the Lord, hath spoke,and called the earth upon,Ev’n from the rising of the sununto his going down.2 From out of Zion, his own hill,where the perfection highOf beauty is, from thence the Lordhath shined gloriously.3 Our God shall come, and shall no morebe silent, but speak out:Before him fire shall waste, great stormsshall compass him about.4 He to the heavens from above,and to the earth below,Shall call, that he his judgments maybefore his people show.5 Let all my saints together beunto me gathered;Those that by sacrifice with mea covenant have made.6 And then the heavens shall declarehis righteousness abroad:Because the Lord himself doth come;none else is judge but God.7 Hear, O my people, and I’ll speak;O Israel by name,Against thee I will testify;God, ev’n thy God, I am.8 I for thy sacrifices fewreprove thee never will,Nor for burnt-off’rings to have beenbefore me offered still.9 I’ll take no bullock nor he-goatsfrom house nor folds of thine:10 For beasts of forests, cattle allon thousand hills, are mine.11 The fowls are all to me well knownthat mountains high do yield;And I do challenge as mine ownthe wild beasts of the field.12 If I were hungry, I would notto thee for need complain;For earth, and all its fullness, dothto me of right pertain.13 That I to eat the flesh of bullstake pleasure dost thou think?Or that I need, to quench my thirst,the blood of goats to drink?
