Psalms 50
50
A Psalm of Asaph.
1The God of gods — Jehovah — hath spoken, And He calleth to the earth From the rising of the sun unto its going in.
2From Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shone.
3Our God cometh, and is not silent, Fire before Him doth devour, And round about him it hath been very tempestuous.
4He doth call unto the heavens from above, And unto the earth, to judge His people.
5Gather ye to Me My saints, Making covenant with Me over a sacrifice.
6And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself [is] judge. Selah.
7Hear, O My people, and I speak, O Israel, and I testify against thee, God, thy God [am] I.
8Not for thy sacrifices do I reprove thee, Yea, thy burnt-offerings [Are] before Me continually.
9I take not from thy house a bullock, From thy folds he goats.
10For Mine [is] every beast of the forest, The cattle on the hills of oxen.
11I have known every fowl of the mountains, And the wild beast of the field [is] with Me.
12If I am hungry I tell not to thee, For Mine [is] the world and its fulness.
13Do I eat the flesh of bulls, And drink the blood of he-goats?
14Sacrifice to God confession, And complete to the Most High thy vows.
15And call Me in a day of adversity, I deliver thee, and thou honourest Me.
16And to the wicked hath God said: What to thee — to recount My statutes? That thou liftest up My covenant on thy mouth?
17Yea, thou hast hated instruction, And dost cast My words behind thee.
18If thou hast seen a thief, Then thou art pleased with him, And with adulterers [is] thy portion.
19Thy mouth thou hast sent forth with evil, And thy tongue joineth deceit together,
20Thou sittest, against thy brother thou speakest, Against a son of thy mother givest slander.
21These thou didst, and I kept silent, Thou hast thought that I am like thee, I reprove thee, and set in array before thine eyes.
22Understand this, I pray you, Ye who are forgetting God, Lest I tear, and there is no deliverer.
23He who is sacrificing praise honoureth Me, As to him who maketh a way, I cause him to look on the salvation of God!

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!”
