Psalms - Chapter 50 | New King James Version

  • 1. A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God the Lord, Has spoken and called the earth From the rising of the sun to its going down.
  • 2. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God will shine forth.
  • 3. Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent; A fire shall devour before Him, And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him.
  • 4. He shall call to the heavens from above, And to the earth, that He may judge His people:
  • 5. "Gather My saints together to Me, Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice."
  • 6. Let the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself is Judge. Selah
  • 7. "Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you; I am God, your God!
  • 8. I will not rebuke you for your sacrifices Or your burnt offerings, Which are continually before Me.
  • 9. I will not take a bull from your house, Nor goats out of your folds.
  • 10. For every beast of the forest is Mine, And the cattle on a thousand hills.
  • 11. I know all the birds of the mountains, And the wild beasts of the field are Mine.
  • 12. "If I were hungry, I would not tell you; For the world is Mine, and all its fullness.
  • 13. Will I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats?
  • 14. Offer to God thanksgiving, And pay your vows to the Most High.
  • 15. Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me."
  • 16. But to the wicked God says: "What right have you to declare My statutes, Or take My covenant in your mouth,
  • 17. Seeing you hate instruction And cast My words behind you?
  • 18. When you saw a thief, you consented {cf2super [42]} with him, And have been a partaker with adulterers.
  • 19. You give your mouth to evil, And your tongue frames deceit.
  • 20. You sit and speak against your brother; You slander your own mother's son.
  • 21. These things you have done, and I kept silent; You thought that I was altogether like you; But I will rebuke you, And set them in order before your eyes.
  • 22. "Now consider this, you who forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, And there be none to deliver:
  • 23. Whoever offers praise glorifies Me; And to him who orders his conduct aright I will show the salvation of God."
