50:1  A Psalm of Asaph. The God of gods -- Jehovah -- hath spoken, And He calleth to the earth From the rising of the sun unto its going in.

50:2  From Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shone.

50:3  Our God cometh, and is not silent, Fire before Him doth devour, And round about him it hath been very tempestuous.

50:4  He doth call unto the heavens from above, And unto the earth, to judge His people.

50:5  Gather ye to Me My saints, Making covenant with Me over a sacrifice.

50:6  And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself `is' judge. Selah.

50:7  Hear, O My people, and I speak, O Israel, and I testify against thee, God, thy God `am' I.

50:8  Not for thy sacrifices do I reprove thee, Yea, thy burnt-offerings `Are' before Me continually.

50:9  I take not from thy house a bullock, From thy folds he goats.

50:10  For Mine `is' every beast of the forest, The cattle on the hills of oxen.

50:11  I have known every fowl of the mountains, And the wild beast of the field `is' with Me.

50:12  If I am hungry I tell not to thee, For Mine `is' the world and its fulness.

50:13  Do I eat the flesh of bulls, And drink the blood of he-goats?

50:14  Sacrifice to God confession, And complete to the Most High thy vows.

50:15  And call Me in a day of adversity, I deliver thee, and thou honourest Me.

50:16  And to the wicked hath God said: What to thee -- to recount My statutes? That thou liftest up My covenant on thy mouth?

50:17  Yea, thou hast hated instruction, And dost cast My words behind thee.

50:18  If thou hast seen a thief, Then thou art pleased with him, And with adulterers `is' thy portion.

50:19  Thy mouth thou hast sent forth with evil, And thy tongue joineth deceit together,

50:20  Thou sittest, against thy brother thou speakest, Against a son of thy mother givest slander.

50:21  These thou didst, and I kept silent, Thou hast thought that I am like thee, I reprove thee, and set in array before thine eyes.

50:22  Understand this, I pray you, Ye who are forgetting God, Lest I tear, and there is no deliverer.

50:23  He who is sacrificing praise honoureth Me, As to him who maketh a way, I cause him to look on the salvation of God!
