< Psalms 50 >

1 A Psalm of Asaph. God, God, the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto 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 Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth.
Out of Zion, which is the perfection of beautie, hath God shined.
3 Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence; a fire devoureth before Him, and round about Him it stormeth mightily.
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 calleth to the heavens above, and to the earth, that He may judge His people:
Hee shall call the heauen aboue, and the earth to iudge his people.
5 'Gather My saints together unto Me; those that have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.'
Gather my Saints together vnto me, those that make a couenant with me with sacrifice.
6 And the heavens declare His righteousness; for God, He is judge. (Selah)
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 against thee: God, thy God, am I.
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 continually before Me.
I wil not reproue thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt offerings, that haue not bene continually before me.
9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he-goats out of thy folds.
I will take no bullocke out of thine house, nor goates out of thy foldes.
10 For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
For all the beastes of the forest are mine, and the beastes on a thousand mountaines.
11 I know all the fowls of the mountains; and the wild beasts of the field are Mine.
I knowe all the foules on the mountaines: and the wilde beastes of the fielde are mine.
12 If I were 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 Do 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 unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto 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 honour Me.'
And call vpon me in the day of trouble: so will I deliuer thee, and thou shalt glorifie me.
16 But unto the wicked God saith: 'What hast thou to do to declare My statutes, and that thou hast taken 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 hatest instruction, and castest My words behind thee.
Seeing thou hatest to bee reformed, and hast cast my wordes behinde thee?
18 When thou sawest a thief, thou hadst company with him, and with adulterers was thy portion.
For when thou seest a thiefe, thou runnest with him, and thou art partaker with the adulterers.
19 Thou hast let loose thy mouth for evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
Thou giuest thy mouth to euill, and with thy tongue thou forgest deceit.
20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
Thou sittest, and speakest against thy brother, and slanderest thy mothers sonne.
21 These things hast thou done, and should I have kept silence? Thou hadst thought that I was altogether such a one as thyself; but I will reprove thee, and set the cause before thine eyes.
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 this, ye that forget God, lest I tear in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
Oh cosider this, ye that forget God, least I teare you in pieces, and there be none that can deliuer you.
23 Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving honoureth Me; and to him that ordereth his way aright will I show 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.
