Psalm 50

Psalm L.

A Psalm of Asaph.

The ^amighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken, and called the earth

^bFrom the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.

²Out of Zion, ^cthe perfection of beauty,

^dGod hath shined.

³Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence:

^eA fire shall devour before him,

And it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

^4fHe shall call to the heavens from above,

And to the earth, that he may judge his people.

⁵Gather ^gmy saints together unto me;

^hThose that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.

⁶And ⁱthe heavens shall declare his righteousness:

For ^jGod is judge himself. Selah.

^7kHear, O my people, and I will speak;

O Israel, and ^kI will testify against thee:

^lI am God, even thy God.

^8mI will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices

Or thy burnt offerings, to have been ^mmcontinually before me.

⁹ⁿI will take no bullock out of thy house,

Nor he goats out of thy ^ofolds.

¹⁰For every beast of the forest is mine,

And the cattle upon a thousand hills.

¹¹I know all the fowls of the mountains:

And ^pthe wild beasts of the field are mine.

¹²If I were hungry, I would not tell thee:

^qFor the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

¹³Will I eat the flesh of ^rbulls,

Or drink the blood of goats?

^14sOffer unto God ^tthanksgiving;

And ^upay thy vows unto the most High:

¹⁵And ^vcall upon me in the day of trouble:

^wI will deliver thee, and thou shalt ^xglorify me.

¹⁶But unto the wicked God saith,

^yWhat hast thou to do to declare my statutes,

Or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?

^17zSeeing thou hatest instruction,

And ^acastest my words behind thee.

¹⁸When thou sawest a thief, then thou ^bconsentedst with him,

And hast been partaker with adulterers.

¹⁹Thou givest thy mouth to evil,

And ^cthy tongue frameth deceit.

²⁰Thou sittest and ^dspeakest against thy brother;

Thou slanderest thine own mother’s son.

²¹These things hast thou done, and ^eI kept silence;

^fThou thoughtest that I was altogether such a one as thyself:

But I will ^greprove thee, and ^hset them in order before thine eyes.

²²Now consider this, ye that ⁱforget God,

Lest I tear you in pieces, and there be ^knone to deliver.

^23lWhoso offereth praise ^xglorifieth me:

And to him that ordereth his conversation aright

Will I shew the salvation of God.
