Psalms 50

¹A Psalm of[1] Asaph The mighty One, God, the LORD, has spoken, And summoned the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting [from east to west].

²Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shone forth.

³May our God come and not keep silent; Fire devours before Him, And around Him a mighty tempest rages.

⁴He summons the heavens above, And the earth, to judge His people:

⁵"Gather My godly ones to Me, Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice."

⁶And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself is judge. Selah.

⁷"Hear, O My people, and I will speak; O Israel, I will testify against you: I am God, your God.

⁸"I do not reprove you for your sacrifices; Your burnt offerings are continually before Me.

⁹"I will accept no young bull from your house Nor male goat from your folds.

¹⁰"For every beast of the forest is Mine, And the cattle on a thousand hills.

¹¹"I know every bird of the mountains, And everything that moves in the field is[2] Mine.

¹²"If I were hungry, I would not tell you, For the world and all it contains are Mine.

¹³"Shall I eat the flesh of bulls Or drink the blood of male goats?

¹⁴"Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving And pay your vows to the Most High;

¹⁵Call on Me in the day of trouble; I will rescue you, and you shall honor and glorify Me."

¹⁶But to the wicked God says: "What right have you to recite My statutes Or to take My covenant on your lips?

¹⁷"For you hate instruction and discipline And cast My words behind you [discarding them].

¹⁸"When you see a thief, you are pleased with him and condone his behavior, And you associate with adulterers.

¹⁹"You give your mouth to evil And your tongue frames deceit.

²⁰"You sit and speak against your brother; You slander your own mother's son.

²¹"These things you have done and I kept silent; You thought that I was just like you. Now I will reprimand and denounce you and state the case in order before your eyes.

²²"Now consider this, you who forget God, Or I will tear you in pieces, and there will be no one to rescue [you].

²³"He who offers a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving honors Me; And to him who orders his way rightly [who follows the way that I show him], I shall show the salvation of God."
