Psalms 50
God the Judge of the Righteous and the Wicked.
A Psalm of 1 Chr 15:17; 2 Chr 29:30Asaph.
11The Mighty One, God, the Lord, has spoken, And summoned the earth 2from the rising of the sun to its setting.2Out of Zion, 3the perfection of beauty, God 4has shone forth.3May our God 5come and not keep silence; 6Fire devours before Him, And it is very 7tempestuous around Him.4He 8summons the heavens above, And the earth, to judge His people:5“Gather My 9godly ones to Me, Those who have made a 10covenant with Me by 11sacrifice.”6And the 12heavens declare His righteousness, For 13God Himself is judge. 14Selah.
7“15Hear, O My people, and I will speak; O Israel, I will testify 16against you; I am God, 17your God.8I do 18not reprove you for your sacrifices, And your burnt offerings are continually before Me.9I shall take no 19young bull out of your house Nor male goats out of your folds.10For 20every beast of the forest is Mine, The cattle on a thousand hills.11I know every 21bird of the mountains, And everything that moves in the field is 22Mine.12If I were hungry I would not tell you, For the 23world is Mine, and 24all it contains.13Shall I eat the flesh of 2526bulls Or drink the blood of male goats?14Offer to God 27a sacrifice of thanksgiving And 28pay your vows to the Most High;1529Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I shall 30rescue you, and you will 31honor Me.”
16But to the wicked God says, “What right have you to tell of My statutes And to take 32My covenant in your mouth?17For you 33hate discipline, And you 34cast My words behind you.18When you see a thief, you 3536are pleased with him, And 37you 38associate with adulterers.19You 3940let your mouth loose in evil And your 41tongue frames deceit.20You sit and 42speak against your brother; You slander your own mother’s son.21These things you have done and 43I kept silence; You thought that I was just like you; I will 44reprove you and state the case in order before your eyes.
22“Now consider this, you who 45forget God, Or I will 46tear you in pieces, and there will be none to deliver.23He who 47offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me; And to him who 4849orders his way aright I shall 50show the salvation of God.”
