50:1  A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, has spoken, And called the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
50:2  Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shone forth.
50:3  May our God come and not be silent; Fire devours before Him, And a storm whirls around Him.
50:4  He calls the heavens above, And the earth, to render justice to His people:
50:5  “Gather My holy ones to Me, Those who have cut a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”
50:6  And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself is judge. Selah.
50:7  “Hear, O My people, and I will speak; O Israel, I will testify against you; I am God, your God.
50:8  I do not reprove you for your sacrifices, And your burnt offerings are continually before Me.
50:9  I shall take no young bull out of your house Nor male 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 every bird of the mountains, And everything that moves in the field is Mine.
50:12  If I were hungry I would not tell you, For the world is Mine, as well as its fullness.
50:13  Shall I eat the flesh of bulls Or drink the blood of male goats?
50:14  Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving And pay your vows to the Most High;
50:15  Call upon Me in the day of distress; I shall rescue you, and you will glorify Me.”
50:16  But to the wicked God says, “What right have you to recount My statutes And to take My covenant in your mouth?
50:17  For you hate discipline, And you cast My words behind you.
50:18  When you see a thief, you are pleased with him, And you associate with adulterers.
50:19  You let your mouth loose in evil And you harness your tongue for deceit.
50:20  You sit and speak against your brother; You slander your own mother’s son.
50:21  These things you have done and I kept silent; You thought that I was just like you; I will reprove you and state the case in order before your eyes.
50:22  “Now consider this, you who forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, and there will be none to deliver.
50:23  He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies Me; And he who orders his way, I shall show the salvation of God.”
