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.

Psalms 50
50
God Wants True Worship
A song of Asaph.
1The God of gods, the Lord, speaks.
He calls the earth from the rising to the setting sun.
2God shines from Jerusalem,
whose beauty is perfect.
3Our God comes, and he will not be silent.
A fire burns in front of him,
and a storm surrounds him.
4He calls to the sky and to the earth
to see him judge his people.
5He says, “You who worship me, gather around.
You have made an agreement with me, using a sacrifice.”
6God is the judge.
Even the skies say he is right. Selah
7God says, “My people, listen to me.
Israel, I will testify against you.
I am God, your God.
8I do not scold you for your sacrifices.
You always bring me your burnt offerings.
9But I do not need the bulls from your stalls
or the goats from your pens.
10Every animal of the forest is already mine.
The cattle on a thousand hills are mine.
11I know every bird on the mountains.
Every living thing in the fields is mine.
12If I were hungry, I would not tell you.
The earth and everything on it are mine.
13I don’t eat the meat of bulls
or drink the blood of goats.
14Give an offering to show thanks to God.
Give God Most High what you have promised.
15Call to me in times of trouble.
I will save you, and you will honor me.”
16But God says to the wicked people,
“Why do you talk about my laws?
Why do you mention my agreement?
17You hate my teachings.
You turn your back on what I say.
18When you see a thief, you join him.
You take part in adultery.
19You don’t stop your mouth from speaking evil.
Your tongue makes up lies.
20You speak against your brother.
You lie about your mother’s son.
21I have kept quiet while you did these things.
So you thought I was just like you.
But I will scold you.
I will accuse you to your face.
22“Think about this, you people who forget God.
Otherwise, I will tear you apart,
and no one will save you.
23Those people honor me
who give me offerings to show thanks.
And I, God, will save those who do that.”
