Psalm
Chapters 50
New International Version Anglicized
1The Mighty One, God, the Lord,speaks and summons the earthfrom the rising of the sun to where it sets.
2From Zion, perfect in beauty,God shines forth.
3Our God comesand will not be silent;a fire devours before him,and around him a tempest rages.
4He summons the heavens above,and the earth, that he may judge his people:
5‘Gather to me this consecrated people,who made a covenant with me by sacrifice.’
6And the heavens proclaim his righteousness,for he is a God of justice.,
7‘Listen, my people, and I will speak;I will testify against you, Israel:I am God, your God.
8I bring no charges against you concerning your sacrificesor concerning your burnt offerings, which are ever before me.
9I have no need of a bull from your stallor of goats from your pens,
10for every animal of the forest is mine,and the cattle on a thousand hills.
11I know every bird in the mountains,and the insects in the fields are mine.
12If I were hungry I would not tell you,for the world is mine, and all that is in it.
13Do I eat the flesh of bullsor drink the blood of goats?
14‘Sacrifice thank-offerings to God,fulfil your vows to the Most High,
15and call on me in the day of trouble;I will deliver you, and you will honour me.’
16But to the wicked person, God says:‘What right have you to recite my lawsor take my covenant on your lips?
17You hate my instructionand cast my words behind you.
18When you see a thief, you join with him;you throw in your lot with adulterers.
19You use your mouth for eviland harness your tongue to deceit.
20You sit and testify against your brotherand slander your own mother’s son.
21When you did these things and I kept silent,you thought I was exactly like you.But I now arraign youand set my accusations before you.
22‘Consider this, you who forget God,or I will tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you:
23those who sacrifice thank-offerings honour me,and to the blameless I will show my salvation.’
