John Gill Commentary Psalms 50:5

"Gather my saints together unto me, Those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice." — Psalms 50:5 (ASV)

Gather my saints together unto me
These words are spoken by Christ to the heavens and the earth; that is, to the angels, the ministers of the Gospel, to gather in, by the ministry of the word, his elect ones among the Gentiles; see (Matthew 24:30); called his "saints", who had an interest in his favour and lovingkindness, and were sanctified or set apart for his service and glory;

those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice ;
or, "who have made my covenant by, or on sacrifice" ^F19 ; the covenant of grace, which was made with Christ from everlasting, and which was confirmed by his blood and sacrifice; this his people may be said to make with God in him, he being their head, surety, and representative: now these covenant ones he will have gathered in to himself by the effectual calling, which is usually done by the ministry of the word; for this is not to be understood of the gathering of all nations to him, before him as a Judge; but of his special people to him as a Saviour, the "Shiloh", to whom the gathering of the people was to be, (Genesis 49:10) (Isaiah 27:12Isaiah 27:13) (56:8) (Zechariah 10:8) .
