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.
