Psalms 50

Psalm 50

God, the Judge of the Righteous and the Wicked.

¹The Mighty One, God, the Lord, has spoken And summoned the earth, from the rising of the sun to its setting.

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

³May our God come and not keep silent; Fire devours before Him, And a storm is violently raging around Him.

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, My people, and I will speak; Israel, I will testify against you; I am God, your God.

⁸“I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices, And your burnt offerings are continually before Me.

⁹“I will not take a bull from your house, Nor male goats from your folds.

¹⁰“For every animal of the forest is Mine, The cattle on a thousand hills.

¹¹“I know every bird of the mountains, And everything that moves in the field is Mine.

¹²“If I were hungry I would not tell you, For the world is Mine, and everything it contains.

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

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

¹⁵Call upon Me on the day of trouble; I will rescue you, and you will honor Me.”

¹⁶¶But to the wicked God says, “What right do you have to tell of My statutes And to take My covenant in your mouth?

¹⁷“For you yourself hate discipline, And you throw My words behind you.

¹⁸“When you see a thief, you become friends with him, And you associate with adulterers.

¹⁹“You let your mouth loose in evil, And your tongue harnesses 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; I will rebuke you and present the case 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 save you.

²³“He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me; And to him who sets his way properly I will show the salvation of God.”
