Psalms 50

¹A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God, Jehovah, hath spoken, And called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.

²Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth.

³Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence: A fire devoureth before him, And it is very tempestuous round about him.

⁴He calleth to the heavens above, And to the earth, that he may judge his people:

⁵Gather my saints together unto me, Those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.

⁶And the heavens shall declare his righteousness; For God is judge himself. [Selah

⁷Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I am God, even thy God.

⁸I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; And thy burnt-offerings are continually before me.

⁹I will take no bullock out of thy house, Nor he-goats out of thy folds.

¹⁰For every beast of the forest is mine, And the cattle upon a thousand hills.

¹¹I know all the birds of the mountains; And the wild beasts of the field are mine.

¹²If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; For the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

¹³Will I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats?

¹⁴Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; And pay thy vows unto the Most High;

¹⁵And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

¹⁶But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, And that thou hast taken my covenant in thy mouth,

¹⁷Seeing that thou hatest instruction, And castest my words behind thee?

¹⁸When thou sawest a thief, thou consentedst with him, And hast been partaker with adulterers.

¹⁹Thou givest thy mouth to evil, And thy tongue frameth deceit.

²⁰Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; Thou slanderest thine own mother’s son.

²¹These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; Thou thoughtest that I was altogether such a one as thyself: But I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

²²Now consider this, ye that forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver:

²³Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifieth me; And to him that ordereth his way aright Will I show the salvation of God.
