Psalms 50
50
A Psalm of Asaph.
1God, even God, 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 forth.
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 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 unto thee:
I am God, even thy God.
8I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices;
And thy burnt offerings are 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 the sacrifice of 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;
And that thou hast taken my covenant in thy mouth?
17Seeing thou hatest instruction,
And castest my words behind thee.
18When thou sawest a thief, 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 an 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 the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifieth me;
And to him that ordereth his conversation aright
Will I shew the salvation of God.

Tehillim (Psalms) 50
50
1Ěl Elohim יהוה shall speak, And He shall call the earth From the rising of the sun to its going down.
2From Tsiyon, the perfection of loveliness, Elohim shall shine forth.
3Our Elohim comes, and is not silent – A fire consumes before Him, And it shall be very stormy all around Him.
4He calls to the heavens from above, And to the earth, to rightly rule His people:
5Gather My lovingly-committed ones together to Me, Those who have made a covenant with Me by slaughtering.
6Then the heavens declared His righteousness, For Elohim Himself is Judge. Selah.
7“Hear, O My people, and I speak, O Yisra’ĕl, and I witness against you: I am Elohim, your Elohim!
8I do not reprove you for your slaughterings, And your ascending offerings are continually before Me.”
9“I do not take a bull from your house, Nor goats out of your pens.
10For every beast of the forest is Mine, The cattle on a thousand hills.”
11“I know all the birds of the mountains, And all moving in My field are Mine.
12If I were hungry, I would not speak to you; For the world is Mine, and all that fills it.”
13“Do I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats?
14Slaughter thanksgiving to Elohim, And pay your vows to the Most High.”
15And call upon Me in the day of distress – Let Me rescue you, and you esteem Me.
16But to the wrong Elohim said, “What right have you to recite My laws, Or take My covenant in your mouth,
17“While you hated instruction And cast My Words behind you?
18When you saw a thief, you were pleased with him, And you take part with adulterers.”
19“You let your mouth loose to evil, And your tongue frames deceit.
20You sit, speak against your brother; You slander your own mother’s son.”
21“You have done this, and I kept silent; You have thought that I was altogether like you – I rebuke you, and set it in order before your eyes.
22Understand this please, you who forget Eloah, Lest I tear you in pieces, With no one to deliver:"
23Whoever slaughters praise esteems Me; And to him who prepares a way, I show the deliverance of Elohim.
