Context of Psalms 50:5
3May our God come and not keep silent; Fire devours before Him, And around Him a mighty tempest rages. 4He summons the heavens above, And the earth, to judge His people: “Gather My godly ones to Me, Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.” 6And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself is judge. Selah. 7“Hear, O My people, and I will speak; O Israel, I will testify against you: I am God, your God.
