Ps 50
0 Psalm 50 A Psalm of Asaph.
1
The Mighty One, God, YHWH, has spoken, And called the earth from the rising of the
sun to the going down thereof.
2
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shined forth.
3
Our God comes, and does not keep silence: A fire devours before him, And it is very
tempestuous round about him.
4
He calls" to the heavens above, And to the earth, that he may judge his people:
5
Gather my saints together to me, Those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
6
And the heavens shall declare his righteousness; For God is judge himself. Selah
7
Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify to you: I am God,
[even] your God.
8
I will not reprove you for your sacrifices; And your burnt-offerings are continually
before me.
9
I will take no bullock out of your house, Nor he-goats out of your folds.
10
For every beast of the forest is mine, And the cattle upon a thousand hills.
11
I know all the birds of the mountains; And the wild beasts of the field are mine.
12
If I were hungry, I would not tell you; For the world is mine, and its fullness.
13
Will I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats?
14
Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; And pay your vows to the Most High:
15
And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify
me.
16
But to the wicked God says, What have you to do to declare my statutes, And that you
have taken my covenant in your mouth,
17
Seeing you hate instruction, And cast my words behind you?
18
When you saw a thief, you consented with him, And have been partaker 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 have you done, and I kept silence; You thought that I was altogether
such a one as yourself: [But] I will reprove you, and set [them] in order before your
eyes.
22
Now consider this, you that forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none
to deliver:
23
Whoso offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me; And to him whom orders
his way [aright] Will I show the salvation of God.
