Psalms 50 |
|
A Psalm of Asaph. |
| 1 |
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 casteth 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. |
