PS-50:1 A Psalm of Asaph. The mighty God, [even] the LORD, hath

spoken, and

called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down

thereof.

PS-50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.

PS-50:3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire

shall devour

before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

PS-50:4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the

earth, that he may

judge his people.

PS-50:5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made

a covenant

with me by sacrifice.

PS-50:6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God

[is] judge

himself. Selah.

PS-50:7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I

will testify

against thee: I [am] God, [even] thy God.

PS-50:8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt

offerings, [to

have been] continually before me.

PS-50:9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, [nor] he goats

out of thy

folds.

PS-50:10 For every beast of the forest [is] mine, [and] the

cattle upon a

thousand hills.

PS-50:11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild

beasts of the

field [are] mine.

PS-50:12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world

[is] mine, and

the fulness thereof.

PS-50:13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of

goats?

PS-50:14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the

most High:

PS-50:15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver

thee, and thou

shalt glorify me.

PS-50:16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to

declare my

statutes, or [that] thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?

PS-50:17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words

behind thee.

PS-50:18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with

him, and hast

been partaker with adulterers.

PS-50:19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth

deceit.

PS-50:20 Thou sittest [and] speakest against thy brother; thou

slanderest

thine own mother's son.

PS-50:21 These [things] hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou

thoughtest

that I was altogether [such an one] as thyself: [but] I will

reprove thee, and

set [them] in order before thine eyes.

PS-50:22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear

[you] in pieces,

and [there be] none to deliver.

PS-50:23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that

ordereth [his]

conversation [aright] will I show the salvation of God.
