PSALM 50
A Psalm. Of Asaph.
1·God#GodHebrew: El Elohim-Jehovah, 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#GodHebrew: Elohim hath shined forth. 3Our God#GodHebrew: Elohim will come, and will not keep silence: fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him. 4He will call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people: 5Gather unto me my godly ones, those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice! 6And the heavens shall declare his righteousness; for God#GodHebrew: Elohim executeth judgment himself. Selah.
7Hear, my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I am God#GodHebrew: Elohim thy God#GodHebrew: Elohim 8I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt-offerings, 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, the cattle upon a thousand hills; 11I know all the fowl of the mountains, and the roaming creatures of the field are mine: 12If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof. 13Should I eat the flesh of bulls, and drink the blood of goats? 14Offer unto God#GodHebrew: Elohim thanksgiving, and perform 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#GodHebrew: Elohim saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant into thy mouth, 17Seeing thou hast hated correction and hast cast my words behind thee? 18When thou sawest a thief, thou didst take pleasure in him, and thy portion was with adulterers; 19Thou lettest thy mouth loose to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit; 20Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother, thou revilest thine own mother's son: 21These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. 22Now consider this, ye that forget +God#GodHebrew: Eloah lest I tear in pieces, and there be no deliverer. 23Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me; and to him that ordereth his way will I shew the salvation of God#GodHebrew: Elohim.

50
God Himself Is Judge
A Psalm of #1 Chr. 6:39; 15:17; 16:5, 7; 25:2; 2 Chr. 29:30Asaph.
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!”
