←Prev   Psalms 50 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


50:1  The Mighty One, God, the Lord, speaks and calls the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
50:2  Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.
50:3  Our God comes and does not keep silence; a fire devours before Him, and round about Him a mighty tempest rages.
50:4  He calls to the heavens above and to the earth, that He may judge His people:
50:5  Gather together to Me My saints [those who have found grace in My sight], those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.
50:6  And the heavens declare His righteousness (rightness and justice), for God, He is judge. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
50:7  Hear, O My people, and I will speak; O Israel, I will testify to you and against you: I am God, your God.
50:8  I do not reprove you for your sacrifices; your burnt offerings are continually before Me.
50:9  I will accept no bull from your house nor he-goat out of your folds.
50:10  For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills or upon the mountains where thousands are.
50:11  I know and am acquainted with all the birds of the mountains, and the wild animals of the field are Mine and are with Me, in My mind.
50:12  If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world and its fullness are Mine.
50:13  Shall I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?
50:14  Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and pay your vows to the Most High,
50:15  And call on Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall honor and glorify Me.
50:16  But to the wicked, God says: What right have you to recite My statutes or take My covenant or pledge on your lips,
50:17  Seeing that you hate instruction and correction and cast My words behind you [discarding them]?
50:18  When you see a thief, you associate with him, and you have taken part with adulterers.
50:19  You give your mouth to evil, and your tongue frames 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 I was once entirely like you. But [now] I will reprove you and put [the charge] in order before your eyes.
50:22  Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
50:23  He who brings an offering of praise and thanksgiving honors and glorifies Me; and he who orders his way aright [who prepares the way that I may show him], to him I will demonstrate the salvation of God.
