50:1  A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God, is the Lord; He 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 has shined.
50:3  Our God will come, and will not keep silent; a fire consumes before Him, and a strong tempest is around Him.
50:4  He calls to the heavens above, and to the earth, that He may judge His people:
50:5  “Gather My faithful ones together to Me, those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”
50:6  The heavens will declare His righteousness, for God Himself is judge. Selah
50:7  “Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you; I am God, even your God.
50:8  I will not reprove you for your sacrifices or for your burnt offerings that are continually before Me.
50:9  I will take no young bull out of your house, nor male goats out of your folds.
50:10  For every wild animal of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.
50:11  I know every bird of the mountains, and the creatures that move in the field are Mine.
50:12  If I were hungry, I would not tell you; for the world is Mine, and all its fullness.
50:13  Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
50:14  Sacrifice a thank offering to God, 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 will glorify Me.”
50:16  But to the wicked God says: “What right have you to declare My statutes, or take My covenant in your mouth?
50:17  You hate instruction, and cast My words behind you.
50:18  When you see a thief, you are pleased, and have a share in those who commit adultery.
50:19  You let loose your mouth to evil, and your tongue is bound to deceit.
50:20  You sit and speak against your brother; you accuse your own mother’s son.
50:21  These things have you done, and I kept silent; you thought that I was indeed like you; but I will reprove you and make a case 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  Whoever sacrifices a thank offering glorifies Me and makes a way; I will show him the salvation of God.”
