Psalm 50
50.1
Psalm of Asaph. God, God, the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from the rising sun even to the setting sun.
50.2
From Zion, perfect beauty, God shines.
50.3
He comes, our God, he does not remain silent; Before him is a devouring fire, Around him a violent storm.
50.4
He cries out to the heavens above, and to the earth, to judge his people:
50.5
Gather my saints to me, who have made a covenant with me through sacrifice! -
50.6
And the heavens will proclaim his righteousness, for God is the judge. -Pause.
50.7
Listen, my people! and I will speak; Israel! and I will warn you. I am God, your God.
50.8
It is not for your sacrifices that I reproach you; Your burnt offerings are constantly before me.
50.9
I will not take a bullock out of your house, nor a he-goat out of your folds.
50.10
For all the beasts of the forest are mine, all the beasts of the mountains by thousands;
50.11
I know all the birds of the mountains, And everything that moves in the fields is mine.

50.12
If I was hungry, I wouldn't tell you, Because the world is mine and all in it.
50.13
Do I eat the flesh of bulls? Do I drink the blood of goats?
50.14
Offer thanksgiving as a sacrifice to God, and fulfill your vows to the Most High.
50.15
And call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will glorify me.
50.16
And God said to the wicked: What then! you enumerate my laws, and you have my covenant in your mouth,
50.17
You who hate advice, And throw my words behind you!
50.18
If you see a thief, you are pleased with him, and your part is with adulterers.
50.19
You give up your mouth to evil, And your tongue is a fabric of deceit.
50.20
You sit down and speak against your brother; You slander your mother's son.
50.21
This is what you did, and I kept quiet. You imagined that I looked like you; But I'll take you back, and put everything before your eyes.
50.22
Take heed therefore, you who forget God, Lest I tear, without anyone delivering.
50.23
He who offers thanksgiving as a sacrifice glorifies Me, and to him who watches his way I will show the salvation of God.
