Context of Psalms 50:3

1The Mighty One, God, the Lord, has spoken And summoned the earth, from the rising of the sun to its setting. 2Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shone. May our God come and not keep silent; Fire devours before Him, And a storm is violently raging around Him. 4He summons the heavens above, And the earth, to judge His people: 5“Gather My godly ones to Me, Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”

Commentaries on Psalms 50:3
