CHAPTER 50

A Psalm

of Asaph.

The Mighty One,

God

the LORD,

speaks

and summons

the earth

from the rising

to

the setting

of the sun.

From Zion,

perfect

in beauty,

God

shines forth.

Our God

comes

and will not

be silent!

Consuming

fire

precedes Him,

and a tempest

rages around Him.

He summons

the heavens

above,

and the earth,

that He may judge

His people:

“Gather

to Me

My saints,

who made

a covenant

with Me

by sacrifice.”

And the heavens

proclaim

His righteousness,

for

God

Himself

is Judge.

Selah

“Hear,

O My people,

and I will speak,

O Israel,

and I will testify

against you:

I

am God,

your God.

I do not

rebuke

you for

your sacrifices,

and your burnt offerings

are ever

before Me.

I have no

need

for a bull

from your stall

or goats

from your pens,

for

every

beast

of the forest

is Mine—

the cattle

on a thousand

hills.

I know

every

bird

in the mountains,

and the creatures

of the field

are Mine.

If

I were hungry,

I would not

tell you,

for

the world

is Mine,

and the fullness thereof.

Do I eat

the flesh

of bulls,

or drink

the blood

of goats?

Sacrifice

a thank offering

to God,

and fulfill

your vows

to the Most High.

Call upon Me

in the day

of trouble;

I will deliver you,

and you will honor Me.”

To the wicked, however,

God

says,

“What right

have you

to recite

My statutes

and to bear

My covenant

on

your lips?

For you

hate

My instruction

and cast

My words

behind you.

When

you see

a thief,

you befriend

him,

and throw in your lot

with

adulterers.

You unleash

your mouth

for evil

and unharness

your tongue

for deceit.

You sit

and malign

your brother,

you

slander

your own mother’s

son.

You have done

these things,

and I kept silent;

you thought

I was

just like you.

But I Myself will rebuke you

and accuse you

to your face.

Now

consider

this,

you who forget

God,

lest

I tear you to pieces,

with no one

to rescue you:

He who sacrifices

a thank offering

honors Me,

and to him who rights

his way,

I will show

the salvation

of God.”
