50:1  A psalm of Asaph. God, Elohim Adonai has spoken and summoned 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 silent. A fire is devouring before Him, and it storms around Him mightily.
50:4  He calls to the heavens above and to the earth, to judge His people:
50:5  “Gather My kedoshim to Me, who cut a covenant with Me with a sacrifice.”
50:6  The heavens declare His righteousness, for God Himself is Judge. Selah
50:7  “Hear, My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God.
50:8  I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices, for your burnt offerings are continually before Me.
50:9  I have no need of a bull from your house nor goats from your pens.
50:10  For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.
50:11  I know every bird of the mountains. Everything moving in the field is Mine.
50:12  If I were hungry, I would not tell you— for the world is Mine and all it contains!
50:13  Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?
50:14  Offer God a sacrifice of thank offerings, then fulfill your vows to Elyon.
50:15  Call upon Me in the day of trouble. When I rescue you, you will honor Me.”
50:16  But to the wicked, God says: “What are you doing, reciting My laws and taking 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 your portion is with adulterers.
50:19  You have unleashed your mouth for evil and harnessed your tongue for deceit.
50:20  You sit, speaking against your brother, slandering your own mother’s son.
50:21  These things you have done—Should I keep silent? You thought I was just like you—but I reprove you, and set the case before your eyes.
50:22  Now consider this, you who forget God. Or else I will tear you in pieces with no one to rescue you.
50:23  A sacrifice of praise honors Me, and to the one who orders his way, I will show the salvation of God.”
