Psalm 50
50
God Is the Judge
A Psalm of Asaph.
1The mighty God, even 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.
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 from 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 against thee:
I am God, even thy God.
8I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices
or thy burnt offerings, to have been 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 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,
or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
17seeing thou hatest instruction,
and castest my words behind thee.
18When thou sawest a thief,
then 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 a 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 praise glorifieth me:
and to him that ordereth his conversation aright
will I show the salvation of God.

Psalm 50
A Psalm to Asaph.
1¶ The God of gods, even the Lord, has spoken and convocated the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
2Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has 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 convocate the heavens of above, and the earth, that he may judge his people.
5Gather my merciful ones together unto me, those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
6And the heavens shall declare his righteousness, for God himself is the judge. Selah.
7¶ Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee; I am God, even thy God.
8I will not reprove thee regarding thy sacrifices; 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 with me.
12If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the world is mine and the fullness thereof.
13Must I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?
14Sacrifice praise unto God 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.
16¶ But unto the wicked God saith, What part hast thou to declare my statutes or that thou should take my covenant in thy mouth?
17Seeing thou dost hate chastening and dost cast my words behind thee.
18When thou didst see a thief, then thou didst consent with him and hast been partaker with adulterers.
19Thou didst give thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frames deceit.
20Thou didst sit and speak against thy brother; thou didst slander thine own mother’s son.
21These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou didst think that I was altogether such a 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 take you away, and there be none to deliver.
23Whosoever sacrifices praise glorifies me; and to him that orders his ways aright I will show the salvation of God.
