Context of Psalms 50:5
3Our God comes and will not be silent; a fire devours before him, and around him a tempest rages. 4He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that he may judge his people: “Gather to me this consecrated people, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice.” 6And the heavens proclaim his righteousness, for he is a God of justice. 7“Listen, my people, and I will speak; I will testify against you, Israel: I am God, your God.
