Psa. 50:1 |
The Mighty One, God Jehovah, / Speaks and summons the earth / From the rising of the sun to its setting. |
Psa. 50:2 |
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, / God shines forth. |
Psa. 50:3 |
Our God has come and will not be silent; / Fire devours before Him, / And around Him it is exceedingly tempestuous. |
Psa. 50:4 |
He calls to the heavens above, / And to the earth that He may judge His people: |
Psa. 50:5 |
Gather My saints to Me, / Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice. |
Psa. 50:6 |
Then the heavens declare His righteousness, / For God Himself is Judge. Selah |
Psa. 50:7 |
Hear, O My people, and I will speak; / O Israel, and I will testify against you: / I am God, your God. |
Psa. 50:8 |
I will not reprove you because of your sacrifices, / And your burnt offerings are before Me continually. |
Psa. 50:9 |
I will not take a bull from your house / [Nor] goats from your folds, |
Psa. 50:10 |
For every animal of the forest is Mine, / The cattle upon a thousand hills. |
Psa. 50:11 |
I know every bird of the mountains, / And I am aware of everything that moves in the field. |
Psa. 50:12 |
If I were hungry, I would not tell you; / For the world is Mine and the fullness thereof. |
Psa. 50:13 |
Shall I eat the flesh of bulls / Or drink the blood of goats? |
Psa. 50:14 |
Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving, / And repay your vows to the Most High; |
Psa. 50:15 |
And call upon Me in the day of trouble: / I will deliver you, and you will glorify Me. |
Psa. 50:16 |
But to the wicked God says, / What [right] do you have to declare My statutes / And take up My covenant in your mouth, |
Psa. 50:17 |
Seeing that you hate correction / And cast My words behind you? |
Psa. 50:18 |
When you see a thief, you take pleasure in him; / And your portion is with adulterers. |
Psa. 50:19 |
You let your mouth loose for evil, / And your tongue frames deceit. |
Psa. 50:20 |
You sit [and] speak against your brother; / You defame the son of your mother. |
Psa. 50:21 |
These things you do, and I keep silent; / You think that I am altogether like you. / I will rebuke you and set forth [the matter] in order before your eyes. |
Psa. 50:22 |
Consider this then, you who forget God, / Lest I tear [you] apart and there be none to deliver [you.] |
Psa. 50:23 |
Whoever offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies Me; / And to him who sets [his] way [right] I will show the salvation of God. |
