Tehillim (Psa) 50

1A psalm of Asaf:
The Mighty One, God, Adonai, is speaking,
summoning the world from east to west.
2Out of Tziyon, the perfection of beauty,
God is shining forth.
3Our God is coming and not staying silent.
With a fire devouring ahead of him
and a great storm raging around him,
4he calls to the heavens above and to earth,
in order to judge his people.
5“Gather to me my faithful,
those who made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”
6The heavens proclaim his righteousness,
for God himself is judge. (Selah)
7“Listen, my people, I am speaking:
Isra’el, I am testifying against you,
I, God, your God.
8I am not rebuking you for your sacrifices;
your burnt offerings are always before me.
9I have no need for a bull from your farm
or for male goats from your pens;
10for all forest creatures are mine already,
as are the animals on a thousand hills;
11I know all the birds in the mountains;
whatever moves in the fields is mine.
12If I were hungry, I would not tell you;
for the world is mine, and everything in it.
13Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?
14Offer thanksgiving as your sacrifice to God,
pay your vows to the Most High,
15and call on me when you are in trouble;
I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”
16But to the wicked God says:
“What right do you have to proclaim my laws
or take my covenant on your lips,
17when you so hate to receive instruction
and fling my words behind you?
18When you see a thief, you join up with him,
you throw in your lot with adulterers,
19you give your mouth free rein for evil
and harness your tongue to deceit;
20you sit and speak against your kinsman,
you slander your own mother’s son.
21When you do such things, should I stay silent?
You may have thought I was just like you;
but I will rebuke and indict you to your face.
22Consider this, you who forget God,
or I will tear you to pieces, with no one to save you.
23“Whoever offers thanksgiving
as his sacrifice honors me;
and to him who goes the right way
I will show the salvation of God.”

1 #
Josh. 22:22 The Mighty One, God the Lord,
speaks and summons the earth
#
Ps. 113:3
from the rising of the sun to its setting.
2Out of Zion, #[Lam. 2:15]; See Ps. 48:2 the perfection of beauty,
#
Ps. 80:1; 94:1; Deut. 33:2 God shines forth.
3Our God comes; he #[Ex. 19:16] does not keep silence;#50:3 Or May our God come, and not keep silence
before him is a devouring #Ps. 21:9; 97:3; Lev. 10:2; Num. 16:35; Dan. 7:10fire,
around him a mighty tempest.
4 #
Deut. 4:26; 31:28; 32:1; Isa. 1:2; Mic. 6:1, 2 He calls to the heavens above
and to the earth, that he may judge his people:
5“Gather to me my faithful ones,
who made #Ex. 24:7, 8; See Gen. 15:9-18a covenant with me by sacrifice!”
6 #
Ps. 89:5; 97:6; [Rev. 16:5, 7; 19:2] The heavens declare his righteousness,
for #Ps. 58:11; 75:7God himself is judge! Selah
7 #
Ps. 81:8; [Ps. 49:1] “Hear, O my people, and I will speak;
O Israel, I will testify against you.
#
Ex. 20:2
I am God, your God.
8Not for your sacrifices #See Ps. 40:6do I rebuke you;
your burnt offerings are continually before me.
9I will not accept a bull from your house
or goats from your folds.
10For every beast of the forest is mine,
the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 # [Matt. 10:29] I know all the birds of the hills,
and all that moves in the field is mine.
12“If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
# See Ps. 24:1 for the world and its fullness are mine.
13Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?
14 # ver. 23; Ps. 27:6; 69:30; 107:22; Heb. 13:15; [Hos. 14:2; Rom. 12:1] Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving,#50:14 Or Make thanksgiving your sacrifice to God
and #Ps. 22:25; 61:8; 65:1; 76:11; 116:14, 18; Num. 30:2; Deut. 23:21; Job 22:27; Eccles. 5:4, 5perform your vows to the Most High,
15and #Ps. 81:7; Zech. 13:9; [Ps. 107:6] call upon me in the day of trouble;
I will #Ps. 91:15 deliver you, and you shall #ver. 23; Ps. 22:23glorify me.”
16But to the wicked God says:
“What right have you to recite my statutes
or take my covenant on your lips?
17 # [Rom. 2:21, 22] For you hate discipline,
#
1 Kgs. 14:9; Neh. 9:26 and you cast my words behind you.
18If you see a thief, #Rom. 1:32 you are pleased with him,
# [1 Tim. 5:22] and you keep company with adulterers.
19“You give your mouth free rein for evil,
# [Ps. 52:2] 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 #Eccles. 8:11; Isa. 57:11 have been silent;
you thought that I#50:21 Or that the I am was one like yourself.
But now I #Ps. 90:8; 2 Kgs. 19:4 rebuke you and #Job 13:18; 23:4lay the charge before you.
22“Mark this, then, you who #See Ps. 9:17 forget God,
lest I tear you apart, and there be #Ps. 7:2none to deliver!
23The one who #ver. 14, 15 offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me;
to one who #[Gal. 6:16] orders his way rightly
I will show the #Ps. 91:16salvation of God!”
