Asaph

In Judah, God is known. His name is great in Israel.

My cry goes to God! Indeed, I cry to God for help, and for him to listen to me.

Hear my teaching, my people. Turn your ears to the words of my mouth.

God, the nations have come into your inheritance. They have defiled your holy temple. They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.

Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine out.

Sing aloud to God, our strength! Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob!

God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods.

God, don’t keep silent. Don’t keep silent, and don’t be still, God.

Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder came out to him.
