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.
“A psalm of Asaph.” The mighty God, Jehovah, speaketh, and calleth the earth, From the rising of the sun to its going down.
2 Out of Zion, which is the perfection of beautie, hath God shined.
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shineth forth.
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 cometh, and will not be silent; Before him is a devouring fire, And around him a raging tempest.
4 Hee shall call the heauen aboue, and the earth to iudge his people.
He calleth to the heavens on high, And to the earth, while he judgeth his people:
5 Gather my Saints together vnto me, those that make a couenant with me with sacrifice.
“Gather together before me my godly ones, Who 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 it is God himself that is judge., Pause)
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! For I am God, thine own God.
8 I wil not reproue thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt offerings, that haue not bene continually before me.
I reprove thee not on account of thy sacrifices; For thy burnt-offerings are ever before me.
9 I will take no bullocke out of thine house, nor goates out of thy foldes.
I will take no bullock from thy house, Nor he-goat from thy folds;
10 For all the beastes of the forest are mine, and the beastes on a thousand mountaines.
For all the beasts of the forest are mine, And the cattle on 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 birds of the mountains, And the wild beasts of the field are before me.
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 all that is therein.
13 Will I eate the flesh of bulles? or drinke the blood of goates?
Do 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 to God thanksgiving, And pay thy vows to the Most High!
15 And call vpon me in the day of trouble: so will I deliuer thee, and thou shalt glorifie me.
Then 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,
And to the wicked God saith, “To what purpose dost thou talk of my statutes? And why hast thou my laws upon thy lips?—
17 Seeing thou hatest to bee reformed, and hast cast my wordes behinde thee?
Thou, who 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 seest a thief, thou art in friendship with him, And hast fellowship with adulterers.
19 Thou giuest thy mouth to euill, and with thy tongue thou forgest deceit.
Thou lettest loose 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; Hence thou thoughtest that I was altogether like thyself: But I will reprove thee, and set it 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.
Mark this, ye that forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, and none deliver you!
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 honoreth me; And to him who hath regard to his ways Will I show salvation from God.”
