Psalms 50
1 A psalm for Asaph. The God of gods, the Lord hath spoken: and he hath 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 the loveliness of his beauty.
Out of Zion, which is the perfection of beautie, hath God shined.
3 God shall come manifestly: our God shall come, and shall not keep silence. A fire shall burn before him: and a mighty tempest shall be round about him.
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 call heaven from above, and the earth, to judge his people.
Hee shall call the heauen aboue, and the earth to iudge his people.
5 Gather ye together his saints to him: who set his covenant before sacrifices.
Gather my Saints together vnto me, those that make a couenant with me with sacrifice.
6 And the heavens shall declare his justice: for God is judge.
And the heauens shall declare his righteousnes: for God is iudge himselfe. (Selah)
7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak: O Israel, and I will testify to thee: I am God, thy 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 thee for thy sacrifices: and thy burnt offerings are always in my sight.
I wil not reproue thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt offerings, that haue not bene continually before me.
9 I will not take calves out of thy house: nor he goats out of thy flocks.
I will take no bullocke out of thine house, nor goates out of thy foldes.
10 For all the beasts of the woods are mine: the cattle on the hills, and the oxen.
For all the beastes of the forest are mine, and the beastes on a thousand mountaines.
11 I know all the fowls of the air: and with me is the beauty of the field.
I knowe all the foules on the mountaines: and the wilde beastes of the fielde are mine.
12 If I should be hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
If I bee hungry, I will not tell thee: for the world is mine, and all that therein is.
13 Shall I eat the flesh of bullocks? or shall I 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 thy 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 trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
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 hath said: Why dost thou declare my justices, and take my covenant in thy 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 Seeing thou hast hated discipline: and hast cast my words behind thee.
Seeing thou hatest to bee reformed, and hast cast my wordes behinde thee?
18 If thou didst see a thief thou didst run with him: and with adulterers thou hast been a partaker.
For when thou seest a thiefe, thou runnest with him, and thou art partaker with the adulterers.
19 Thy mouth hath abounded with evil, and thy tongue framed deceits.
Thou giuest thy mouth to euill, and with thy tongue thou forgest deceit.
20 Sitting thou didst speak against thy brother, and didst lay a scandal against thy mother’s son:
Thou sittest, and speakest against thy brother, and slanderest thy mothers sonne.
21 These things hast thou done, and I was silent. Thou thoughtest unjustly that I should be like to thee: but I will reprove thee, and set before thy face.
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 Understand these things, you that forget God; lest he snatch you away, and there be none to deliver you.
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 shall glorify me: and there is the way by which I will shew 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.
