AFV2020 - Psalms - 50

50:1  A Psalm of Asaph.The mighty God, God, the LORD, has spoken and called the earth from the rising of the sun to its going down.

50:2  Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shined forth.

50:3  Our God shall come, and He shall not keep silent; a fire shall devour before Him, and it shall be very tempestuous all around Him.

50:4  He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, so that He may judge His people:

50:5  "Gather My saints unto Me, those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice."

50:6  And the heavens shall declare His righteousness, for God Himself is judge. Selah.

50:7  "Hear, My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you; I am God, even your God.

50:8  I will not reprove you for your sacrifices, or your burnt offerings which are continually before Me.

50:9  I will take no bull out of your house, nor he-goats out of your folds,

50:10  For every beast of the forest is Mine and the livestock upon a thousand hills.

50:11  I know all the birds of the mountains; and the wild beasts of the field are Mine.

50:12  If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is Mine, and all the fullness of it.

50:13  Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

50:14  Offer to God thanksgiving; and pay your vows to the Most High;

50:15  And call upon Me in the day of trouble; and I will deliver you, and you shall honor Me."

50:16  But to the wicked God says, "What right have you to declare My statutes, and to take up My covenant in your mouth?

50:17  Yea, you hate to be taught, and you cast My words behind you.

50:18  When you saw a thief, then you were pleased to be with him, and you have taken part with adulterers.

50:19  You give your mouth to evil, and your tongue frames deceit.

50:20  You sit; you speak against your brother; you slander your own mother's son.

50:21  These things you have done, and I have kept silence; you thought that I was like yourself, but I will rebuke you, and set them in order before your eyes.

50:22  Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.

50:23  Whoever offers praise glorifies Me; and he who sets his conduct aright, I will show him the salvation of God."
