Psalms
50:1 The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from
the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
50:3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour
before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
50:4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may
judge his people.
50:5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with
me by sacrifice.
50:6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge
himself. Selah.
50:7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify
against thee: I am God, even thy God.
50:8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to
have been continually before me.
50:9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.
50:10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand
hills.
50:11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field
are mine.
50:12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the
fulness thereof.
50:13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
50:14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
50:15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou
shalt glorify me.
50:16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my
statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
50:17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.
50:18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been
partaker with adulterers.
50:19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
50:20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own
mother's son.
50:21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I
was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set
them in order before thine eyes.
50:22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and
there be none to deliver.
50:23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his
conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
