Psalms 50:1-6
11El, God, the Lord speaks, and summons the earth to come from the east and west.
2From Zion, the most beautiful of all places, God comes in splendor.
3Our God approaches and is not silent; consuming fire goes ahead of him and all around him a storm rages.
4He summons the heavens above, as well as the earth, so that he might judge his people.
5He says: “Assemble my covenant people before me, those who ratified a covenant with me by sacrifice!”
6The heavens declare his fairness, for God is judge. (Selah)
Notes
- 1. Psalms 50:1 Psalm 50. This psalm takes the form of a covenant lawsuit in which the Lord comes to confront his people in a formal manner (as in Isa 1:2-20). The Lord emphasizes that he places priority on obedience and genuine worship, not empty ritual. ↩
