Psalms 50
1 A Psalm for Asaph. The God of gods, the Lord, has spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun to the going down [thereof].
A Psalme of Asaph. The God of Gods, euen the Lord hath spoken and called the earth from the rising vp of the sunne vnto the going downe thereof.
2 Out of Sion [comes] the excellence of his beauty.
Out of Zion, which is the perfection of beautie, hath God shined.
3 God, our God, shall come manifestly, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall be kindled before him, and round about him there shall be a very great tempest.
Our God shall come and shall not keepe silence: a fire shall deuoure before him, and a mightie tempest shall be mooued round about him.
4 He shall summon the heaven above, and the earth, that he may judge his people.
Hee shall call the heauen aboue, and the earth to iudge his people.
5 Assemble you his saints to him, those that have engaged in a covenant with him upon sacrifices.
Gather my Saints together vnto me, those that make a couenant with me with sacrifice.
6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge. (Pause)
And the heauens shall declare his righteousnes: for God is iudge himselfe. (Selah)
7 Hear, my people, and I will speak to you, O Israel: and I will testify to you: I am God, your God.
Heare, O my people, and I wil speake: heare, O Israel, and I wil testifie vnto thee: for I am God, euen thy God.
8 I will not reprove you on account of your sacrifices; for your whole burnt offerings are before me continually.
I wil not reproue thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt offerings, that haue not bene continually before me.
9 I will take no bullocks out of your house, nor he-goats out of your flocks.
I will take no bullocke out of thine house, nor goates out of thy foldes.
10 For all the wild beasts of the thicket are mine, the cattle on the mountains, and oxen.
For all the beastes of the forest are mine, and the beastes on a thousand mountaines.
11 I know all the birds of the sky; and the beauty of the field is mine.
I knowe all the foules on the mountaines: and the wilde beastes of the fielde are mine.
12 If I should be hungry, I will not tell you: for the world is mine, and the fullness of it.
If I bee hungry, I will not tell thee: for the world is mine, and all that therein is.
13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
Will I eate the flesh of bulles? or drinke the blood of goates?
14 Offer to God the sacrifice of praise; and pay your vows to the Most High.
Offer vnto God praise, and pay thy vowes vnto the most High,
15 And call upon me in the day of affliction; and I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me. (Pause)
And call vpon me in the day of trouble: so will I deliuer thee, and thou shalt glorifie me.
16 But to the sinner God has said, Why do you declare my ordinances, and take up my covenant in your mouth?
But vnto the wicked said God, What hast thou to doe to declare mine ordinances, that thou shouldest take my couenant in thy mouth,
17 Whereas you have hated instruction, and have cast my words behind [you].
Seeing thou hatest to bee reformed, and hast cast my wordes behinde thee?
18 If you saw a thief, you ran along with him, and have cast in your lot with adulterers.
For when thou seest a thiefe, thou runnest with him, and thou art partaker with the adulterers.
19 Your mouth has multiplied wickedness, and your tongue has framed deceit.
Thou giuest thy mouth to euill, and with thy tongue thou forgest deceit.
20 You did sit and speak against your brother, and did scandalize your mother's son.
Thou sittest, and speakest against thy brother, and slanderest thy mothers sonne.
21 These things you did, and I kept silence: you thought wickedly that I should be like you, [but] I will reprove you, and set [your offences] before you.
These things hast thou done, and I held my tongue: therefore thou thoughtest that I was like thee: but I will reproue thee, and set them in order before thee.
22 Now consider these things, you that forget God, lest he rend [you], and there is no deliverer.
Oh cosider this, ye that forget God, least I teare you in pieces, and there be none that can deliuer you.
23 The sacrifice of praise will glorify me: and that is the way wherein I will show to him the salvation of God.
He that offereth praise, shall glorifie mee: and to him, that disposeth his way aright, will I shew the saluation of God.
