LITV - Psalms - 50

50:1  A Psalm of Asaph God, Jehovah God has spoken, and calls to the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.

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

50:3  Our God comes, and He is not silent; a fire shall devour before Him; and it shall be very stormy around Him.

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

50:5  Gather My saints together to Me, those who cut My covenant 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, your God.

50:8  I will not reprove you for your sacrifices; yea, your burnt offerings 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; the cattle on a thousand hills;

50:11  I know all the birds of the mountains; and all moving in My fields are Mine;

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

50:13  Will I eat the flesh of mighty ones , and will I drink the blood of he-goats?

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

50:15  And call on Me in the day of distress; and I will save you; and you shall glorify Me.

50:16  But to the wicked, God says, What is it to you to proclaim My statutes, and to take up My covenant on your mouth?

50:17  Yea, you hate instruction, and toss My words behind you?

50:18  When you saw a thief, you were pleased 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; the son of your mother; you give slander.

50:21  You have done these things , and I have kept silence; you thought that surely I would be like you; but I will rebuke you and set in order before your eyes.

50:22  Now think of this, you who forget God, lest I tear, and not any to deliver:

50:23  Whoever offers thanks glorifies Me; and he who prepares a way, I will show the salvation of God to him.
