Psalms 50

PSALM 50
God the Judge of the Righteous and the Wicked.
A Psalm of Asaph.
1The Mighty One, God, the Lord, has spoken,
And summoned the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
2Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
God has shone forth.
3May our God come and not keep silence;
Fire devours before Him,
And it is very tempestuous around Him.
4He summons the heavens above,
And the earth, to judge His people:
5“Gather My godly ones to Me,
Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”
6And the heavens declare His righteousness,
For God Himself is judge. Selah.
7“Hear, O My people, and I will speak;
O Israel, I will testify against you;
I am God, your God.
8I do not reprove you for your sacrifices,
And your burnt offerings are continually before Me.
9I shall take no young bull out of your house
Nor male goats out of your folds.
10For every beast of the forest is Mine,
The cattle on a thousand hills.
11I know every bird of the mountains,
And everything that moves in the field is #Or in My mind; lit with MeMine.
12If I were hungry I would not tell you,
For the world is Mine, and all it contains.
13Shall I eat the flesh of bulls
Or drink the blood of male goats?
14Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving
And pay your vows to the Most High;
15Call upon Me in the day of trouble;
I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me.”
16But to the wicked God says,
“What right have you to tell of My statutes
And to take My covenant in your mouth?
17For you hate discipline,
And you cast My words behind you.
18When you see a thief, you are pleased with him,
And you associate with adulterers.
19You let your mouth loose in evil
And your tongue frames deceit.
20You sit and speak against your brother;
You slander your own mother’s son.
21These things you have done and I kept silence;
You thought that I was just like you;
I will reprove you and state the case in order before your eyes.
22“Now consider this, you who forget God,
Or I will tear you in pieces, and there will be none to deliver.
23He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me;
And to him who orders his way aright
I shall show the salvation of God.”

Psalm 50
50
God Is the Judge
A Psalm of Asaph.
1The mighty God, even the Lord,
hath spoken, and called the earth
from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
2Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
God hath shined.
3Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence:
a fire shall devour before him,
and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
4He shall call to the heavens from above,
and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
5Gather my saints together unto me;
those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
6And the heavens shall declare his righteousness:
for God is judge himself. Selah.
7Hear, O my people, and I will speak;
O Israel, and I will testify against thee:
I am God, even thy God.
8I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices
or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.
9I will take no bullock out of thy house,
nor he goats out of thy folds:
10for every beast of the forest is mine,
and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
11I know all the fowls of the mountains:
and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
12If I were hungry, I would not tell thee:
for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
13Will I eat the flesh of bulls,
or drink the blood of goats?
14Offer unto God thanksgiving;
and pay thy vows unto the Most High:
15and call upon me in the day of trouble:
I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
16But unto the wicked God saith,
What hast thou to do to declare my statutes,
or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
17seeing thou hatest instruction,
and castest my words behind thee.
18When thou sawest a thief,
then thou consentedst with him,
and hast been partaker with adulterers.
19Thou givest thy mouth to evil,
and thy tongue frameth deceit.
20Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother;
thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
21These things hast thou done, and I kept silence;
thou thoughtest that I was altogether such a one as thyself:
but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
22Now consider this, ye that forget God,
lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
23Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me:
and to him that ordereth his conversation aright
will I show the salvation of God.
