Context of Psalms 50:3
1The Mighty One, God, 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 hath shined forth. Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence: A fire devoureth before him, And it is very tempestuous round about him. 4He calleth 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.
