Context of Psalms 50:3

1A psalm of Asaph. God, Elohim Adonai has spoken and summoned the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting. 2Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth. Our God comes, and does not keep silent. A fire is devouring before Him, and it storms around Him mightily. 4He calls to the heavens above and to the earth, to judge His people: 5“Gather My kedoshim to Me, who cut a covenant with Me with a sacrifice.”

Commentaries on Psalms 50:3
