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.

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!”

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.
