Psalm 50

Revised Version 1895

A Psalm of Asaph.

1GodH430, evenH5704 GodH430, the LORDH3068, hath spokenH1696, and calledH7121 the earthH776 from the risingH4217 of the sunH8121 unto the going downH7121 thereof.

2Out of ZionH6726, the perfectionH4359 of beautyH3308, GodH430 hath shined forthH3313.

3Our GodH430 shall comeH935, and shall notH408 keepH935 silence: a fireH784 shall devourH398 beforeH6440 him, and it shall be veryH3966 tempestuous roundH5439 aboutH5439 him.

4He shall callH7121 to the heavensH8064 aboveH413, and to the earthH776, that he may judgeH1777 his peopleH5971:

5GatherH622 my saints togetherH622 unto meH5921; thoseH5921 that have madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with meH5921 by sacrificeH2077.

6And the heavensH8064 shall declareH5046 his righteousnessH6664; for GodH430 is judgeH8199 himselfH1931. SelahH5542

7HearH8085, O my peopleH5971, and I will speakH1696; O IsraelH3478, and I will testify unto thee: I am GodH430, even thy GodH430.

8I will notH3808 reproveH3198 thee for thy sacrificesH2077; and thy burntH5930 offeringsH5930 are continuallyH8548 beforeH5048 meH5921.

9I will takeH3947 noH3808 bullock out of thy houseH1004, norH3808 he-goats out of thy foldsH4356.

10For everyH3605 beastH929 of the forestH3293 is mine, and the cattleH929 upon a thousandH505 hillsH2042.

11I knowH3045 allH3605 the fowls of the mountainsH2022: and the wildH7704 beasts of the fieldH7704 are mine.

12IfH518 I were hungryH7456, I would notH3808 tellH559 thee: for the worldH8398 is mine, and the fulness thereof.

13Will I eatH398 the fleshH1320 of bullsH47, or drinkH8354 the bloodH1818 of goatsH6260?

14OfferH2076 unto GodH430 the sacrificeH2076 of thanksgivingH8426; and payH7999 thy vowsH5088 unto the Most High:

15And callH7121 uponH7121 meH7121 in the dayH3117 of troubleH6869; I will deliverH2502 thee, and thou shalt glorifyH3513 meH7121.

16But unto the wickedH7563 GodH430 saith, WhatH4100 hast thou to doH4100 to declareH5608 my statutesH2706; and that thou hast takenH5375 my covenantH1285 in thy mouthH6310?

17Seeing thou hatest instructionH4148, and castest my wordsH1697 behindH310 thee.

18When thou sawest a thiefH1590, thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterersH5003.

19Thou givest thy mouthH6310 to evilH7451, and thy tongueH3956 frameth deceitH4820.

20Thou sittest and speakest againstH1696 thy brotherH251; thou slanderest thine own mother’sH517 sonH1121.

21TheseH428 things hast thou doneH6213, and I keptH6213 silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether suchH428 an one as thyself: but I will reproveH3198 thee, and setH6213 them in order beforeH5869 thine eyesH5869.

22NowH4994 considerH995 this, ye that forgetH7911 GodH433, lestH6435 I tearH2963 youH6435 in piecesH2963, and there be noneH369 to deliverH5337:

23Whoso offereth the sacrificeH2076 of thanksgivingH8426 glorifieth meH7760; and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvationH3468 of GodH430.
