Psm50:1 The mighty one, God the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
Psm50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.
Psm50:3 Our God comes and does not keep silence, before him is a devouring fire, and a mighty tempest all around him.
Psm50:4 He calls to the heavens above and to the earth, that he may judge his people:
Psm50:5 "Gather to me my faithful ones, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice!"
Psm50:6 The heavens declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge.Selah
Psm50:7 "Hear, O my people, and I will speak, O Israel, I will testify against you. I am God, your God.
Psm50:8 Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you; your burnt offerings are continually before me.
Psm50:9 I will not accept a bull from your house, or goats from your folds.
Psm50:10 For every wild animal of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills.
Psm50:11 I know all the birds of the air, and all that moves in the field is mine.
Psm50:12 "If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world and all that is in it is mine.
Psm50:13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
Psm50:14 Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and pay your vows to the Most High.
Psm50:15 Call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me."
Psm50:16 But to the wicked God says: "What right have you to recite my statutes, or take my covenant on your lips?
Psm50:17 For you hate discipline, and you cast my words behind you.
Psm50:18 You make friends with a thief when you see one, and you keep company with adulterers.
Psm50:19 "You give your mouth free rein for evil, and your tongue frames deceit.
Psm50:20 You sit and speak against your kin; you slander your own mother's child.
Psm50:21 These things you have done and I have been silent; you thought that I was one just like yourself. But now I rebuke you, and lay the charge before you.
Psm50:22 "Mark this, then, you who forget God, or I will tear you apart, and there will be no one to deliver.
Psm50:23 Those who bring thanksgiving as their sacrifice honor me; to those who go the right way I will show the salvation of God."
