Psalms 50
1 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.
THE mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
2 Out of Zion, which is the perfection of beautie, hath God shined.
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
3 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.
Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
4 Hee shall call the heauen aboue, and the earth to iudge his people.
He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
5 Gather my Saints together vnto me, those that make a couenant with me with sacrifice.
Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
6 And the heauens shall declare his righteousnes: for God is iudge himselfe. (Selah)
And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. (Selah)
7 Heare, O my people, and I wil speake: heare, O Israel, and I wil testifie vnto thee: for I am God, euen thy God.
Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.
8 I wil not reproue thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt offerings, that haue not bene continually before me.
I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.
9 I will take no bullocke out of thine house, nor goates out of thy foldes.
I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.
10 For all the beastes of the forest are mine, and the beastes on a thousand mountaines.
For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
11 I knowe all the foules on the mountaines: and the wilde beastes of the fielde are mine.
I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
12 If I bee hungry, I will not tell thee: for the world is mine, and all that therein is.
If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
13 Will I eate the flesh of bulles? or drinke the blood of goates?
Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14 Offer vnto God praise, and pay thy vowes vnto the most High,
Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
15 And call vpon me in the day of trouble: so will I deliuer thee, and thou shalt glorifie me.
And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
16 But vnto the wicked said God, What hast thou to doe to declare mine ordinances, that thou shouldest take my couenant in thy mouth,
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?
17 Seeing thou hatest to bee reformed, and hast cast my wordes behinde thee?
Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.
18 For when thou seest a thiefe, thou runnest with him, and thou art partaker with the adulterers.
When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
19 Thou giuest thy mouth to euill, and with thy tongue thou forgest deceit.
Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
20 Thou sittest, and speakest against thy brother, and slanderest thy mothers sonne.
Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother’s son.
21 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.
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.
22 Oh cosider this, ye that forget God, least I teare you in pieces, and there be none that can deliuer you.
Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
23 He that offereth praise, shall glorifie mee: and to him, that disposeth his way aright, will I shew the saluation of God.
Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
