Context of Psalms 50:5
3Our God approaches, and he is not silent. Fire devours everything in his way, and a great storm rages around him. 4He calls on the heavens above and earth below to witness the judgment of his people. “Bring my faithful people to me— those who made a covenant with me by giving sacrifices.” 6Then let the heavens proclaim his justice, for God himself will be the judge. Interlude 7“O my people, listen as I speak. Here are my charges against you, O Israel: I am God, your God!
