PSALM 50
A Psalm of Asaph.
1 The
mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the
rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. 2 Out of Zion, the
perfection of beauty, God hath shined. 3 Our God shall come, and
shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very
tempestuous round about him. 4 He shall call to the heavens from
above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people. 5 Gather my
saints together unto 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.
7Hear, O
my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am
God, even thy God. 8 I will not reprove thee for thy
sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me. 9
I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy
folds. 10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and
the cattle upon a thousand hills. 11 I know all the fowls of the
mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are minea.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is
mine, and the fulness thereof. 13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls,
or drink the blood of goats? 14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and
pay thy vows unto the most High: 15 And call upon me in the day of
trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
16But unto
the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that
thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? 17 Seeing thou
hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee. 18 When thou
sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with
adulterers. 19 Thou givestb thy mouth to evil, and
thy tongue frameth deceit. 20 Thou sittest and speakest
against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother’s son. 21
These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I
was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee,
and set them in order before thine eyes. 22 Now consider
this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be
none to deliver. 23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to
him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the
salvation of God.
