Psalms 50
Book of Psalms
Psalms 50:1 A Psalm of Asaph. 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.
7 Hear, 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 mine.
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.
16 But 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 givest 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.
