Psalms 50:3

God the Righteous Judge

A Psalm of Asaph.

1 The ^aMighty 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,
^aGod will shine forth.

3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent;
^aA fire shall devour before Him,
And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him.

4 ^aHe shall call to the heavens from above,
And to the earth, that He may judge His people:

5 “Gather ^aMy saints together to Me,
^bThose who have¹ made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”

6 Let the ^aheavens declare His righteousness,
For ^bGod Himself is Judge. Selah

7 “Hear, O My people, and I will speak,
O Israel, and I will testify against you;
^aI am God, your God!
