50
Psalm 50
God Himself Is Judge
A Psalm of #50:0 1 Chr 15:17; 2 Chr 29:30Asaph.
1The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, has spoken,
And called 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 be silent;
Fire devours before Him,
And a storm whirls around Him.
4He calls the heavens above,
And the earth, to render justice to His people:
5“Gather My holy ones to Me,
Those who have cut a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”
6And the heavens declare His righteousness,
For God Himself is judge. #50:6 Selah may mean Pause, Crescendo, Musical InterludeSelah.
7¶“Hear, O My people, and I will speak;
O Israel, I will testify #50:7 Or toagainst you;
I am God, your God.
8“I do not reprove you for your sacrifices,
And your burnt offerings are continually before Me.
9“I shall take no young bull out of your house
Nor male goats out of your folds.
10“For every beast of the forest is Mine,
The cattle on a thousand hills.
11“I know every bird of the mountains,
And everything that moves in the field is #50:11 Or in My mind; lit with MeMine.
12“If I were hungry I would not tell you,
For the world is Mine, as well as its fullness.
13“Shall I eat the flesh of #50:13 Lit strong onesbulls
Or drink the blood of male goats?
14“Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving
And pay your vows to the Most High;
15Call upon Me in the day of distress;
I shall rescue you, and you will glorify Me.”
16¶But to the wicked God says,
“What right have you to recount My statutes
And to take My covenant in your mouth?
17“For you hate discipline,
And you cast My words behind you.
18“When you see a thief, you #50:18 Some ancient versions run togetherare pleased with him,
And #50:18 Lit your part is withyou associate with adulterers.
19“You #50:19 Lit sendlet your mouth loose in evil
And you harness your tongue for deceit.
20“You sit and speak against your brother;
You slander your own mother’s son.
21“These things you have done and I kept silent;
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,
Lest I tear you in pieces, and there will be none to deliver.
23“He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies Me;
And he who #50:23 Lit setsorders his way,
I shall show the salvation of God.”
