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 God of gods — Jehovah — hath spoken, And He calleth to the earth From the rising of the sun unto its going in.
2 Out of Zion, which is the perfection of beautie, hath God shined.
From Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shone.
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 is not silent, Fire before Him doth devour, And round about him it hath been very tempestuous.
4 Hee shall call the heauen aboue, and the earth to iudge his people.
He doth call unto the heavens from above, And unto the earth, to judge His people.
5 Gather my Saints together vnto me, those that make a couenant with me with sacrifice.
Gather ye to Me My saints, Making covenant with Me over a sacrifice.
6 And the heauens shall declare his righteousnes: for God is iudge himselfe. (Selah)
And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself [is] judge. (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 speak, O Israel, and I testify against thee, God, thy God [am] I.
8 I wil not reproue thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt offerings, that haue not bene continually before me.
Not for thy sacrifices do I reprove thee, Yea, thy burnt-offerings [Are] before Me continually.
9 I will take no bullocke out of thine house, nor goates out of thy foldes.
I take not from thy house a bullock, From thy folds he goats.
10 For all the beastes of the forest are mine, and the beastes on a thousand mountaines.
For Mine [is] every beast of the forest, The cattle on the hills of oxen.
11 I knowe all the foules on the mountaines: and the wilde beastes of the fielde are mine.
I have known every fowl of the mountains, And the wild beast of the field [is] with Me.
12 If I bee hungry, I will not tell thee: for the world is mine, and all that therein is.
If I am hungry I tell not to thee, For Mine [is] the world and its fulness.
13 Will I eate the flesh of bulles? or drinke the blood of goates?
Do I eat the flesh of bulls, And drink the blood of he-goats?
14 Offer vnto God praise, and pay thy vowes vnto the most High,
Sacrifice to God confession, And complete to the Most High thy vows.
15 And call vpon me in the day of trouble: so will I deliuer thee, and thou shalt glorifie me.
And call Me in a day of adversity, I deliver thee, and thou honourest 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 hath God said: What to thee — to recount My statutes? That thou liftest up My covenant on thy mouth?
17 Seeing thou hatest to bee reformed, and hast cast my wordes behinde thee?
Yea, thou hast hated instruction, And dost cast My words behind thee.
18 For when thou seest a thiefe, thou runnest with him, and thou art partaker with the adulterers.
If thou hast seen a thief, Then thou art pleased with him, And with adulterers [is] thy portion.
19 Thou giuest thy mouth to euill, and with thy tongue thou forgest deceit.
Thy mouth thou hast sent forth with evil, And thy tongue joineth deceit together,
20 Thou sittest, and speakest against thy brother, and slanderest thy mothers sonne.
Thou sittest, against thy brother thou speakest, Against a son of thy mother givest slander.
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 thou didst, and I kept silent, Thou hast thought that I am like thee, I reprove thee, and set in array 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.
Understand this, I pray you, Ye who are forgetting God, Lest I tear, and there is no deliverer.
23 He that offereth praise, shall glorifie mee: and to him, that disposeth his way aright, will I shew the saluation of God.
He who is sacrificing praise honoureth Me, As to him who maketh a way, I cause him to look on the salvation of God!
