Rotherham - Psalms - 50

50:1  El, Elohim, Yahweh, hath spoken, and culled the earth, From the rising of the sun, unto the going in thereof:

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

50:3  Let our God come, and let him not keep silence! A fire—before him, shall devour, And, around him, hath it become exceeding tempestuous:

50:4  He calleth, Unto the heavens above, And unto the earth, That he may judge his people.

50:5  Gather yourselves unto me—ye my men of lovingkindness, Who have solemnised my covenant over sacrifice.

50:6  Now have the heavens declared his righteousness, Because, God, is, about to judge. [Selah.]

50:7  Hear, O my people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will adjure thee, God, thine own God, I am:—

50:8  Not, for thy sacrifices, will I reprove thee, Nor for thine ascending-offerings, before me continually:

50:9  I will not take out of thy house—a bullock, Nor out of thy folds—he-goats;

50:10  For, mine, is every wild-beast of the forest, The cattle on the mountains, in their thousands;

50:11  I know every bird of the mountains, And, the moving things of the plain, are with me:

50:12  If I were hungry, I would not tell thee, For, mine, is the world, and the fulness thereof.

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

50:14  Sacrifice to God a thankoffering, And pay to the Most High thy vows;

50:15  Call upon me, then, in the day of distress, I will deliver thee, that thou mayest glorify me.

50:16  But, to the lawless one, God saith, What hast, thou, to do, to recount my statutes? Or that thou hast taken up my covenant upon thy mouth?

50:17  Seeing that, thou, hast hated correction, And hast cast my words behind thee;

50:18  If thou sawest a thief, then didst thou run with him,—And, with adulterers, hath been thy chosen life;

50:19  Thy mouth, hast thou thrust into wickedness, And, thy tongue, kept weaving deceit;

50:20  Thou wouldst sit down—Against thine own brother, wouldst thou speak, Against thine own mother’s son, wouldst thou expose a fault:—

50:21  These things, hast thou done, and I have kept silence, Thou thoughtest that I should really be like thyself, I will convict thee, yea I will set [thine offences] in order before thine eyes.

50:22  Understand this, I pray you, ye forgetters of GOD, Lest I tear in pieces, and there be none to deliver:—

50:23  He that sacrificeth a thankoffering, will glorify me,—And will prepare a way by which I may show him the salvation of God.
