50:1  {A Psalm. Of Asaph.} ùGod, Elohim-Jehovah, 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 forth.

50:3  Our God will come, and will not keep silence: fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

50:4  He will call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people:

50:5  Gather unto me my godly ones, those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice!

50:6  And the heavens shall declare his righteousness; for God executeth judgment himself. Selah.

50:7  Hear, my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I am God, thy God.

50:8  I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt-offerings, 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, the cattle upon a thousand hills;

50:11  I know all the fowl of the mountains, and the roaming creatures 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  Should I eat the flesh of bulls, and drink the blood of goats?

50:14  Offer unto God thanksgiving, and perform 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 into thy mouth,

50:17  Seeing thou hast hated correction and hast cast my words behind thee?

50:18  When thou sawest a thief, thou didst take pleasure in him, and thy portion was with adulterers;

50:19  Thou lettest thy mouth loose to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit;

50:20  Thou sittest [and] speakest against thy brother, thou revilest thine own mother's son:

50:21  These [things] hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether 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 in pieces, and there be no deliverer.

50:23  Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me; and to him that ordereth [his] way will I shew the salvation of God.
