Context of Psalms 50:5
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. He 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) 7He says: “Listen my people! I am speaking! Listen Israel! I am accusing you! I am God, your God!
