Psalms 50
1 “A psalm of Assaph.” The God of gods, the Lord, speaketh, and calleth the earth, from the rising of the sun unto his setting.
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 shineth forth.
Out of Zion, which is the perfection of beautie, hath God shined.
3 Our God is coming, and will not keep silence: a fire devoureth before him, and round him there rageth a mighty storm.
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 will call to the heavens above, and to the earth, to judge his people.
Hee shall call the heauen aboue, and the earth to iudge his people.
5 “Gather together unto me my pious servants, who make 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 tell of his righteousness; for God is judge himself. (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 Not because of thy sacrifices will I reprove thee; 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 not take a 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 mine are all the beasts of the forest, the cattle upon a thousand mountains.
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: whatever moveth on the fields is with me.
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 say it to thee; for mine is the world, and what filleth it.
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 fatted bulls, or drink the blood of he-goats?
Will I eate the flesh of bulles? or drinke the blood of goates?
14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay unto the Most High thy vows;
Offer vnto God praise, and pay thy vowes vnto the most High,
15 And call on me on the day of distress: I will deliver thee, — and so wilt thou glorify 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 relate my statutes, and why bearest thou my covenant upon 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 And yet 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 seest a thief, then art thou pleased with him, and with adulterers hast thou thy portion.
For when thou seest a thiefe, thou runnest with him, and thou art partaker with the adulterers.
19 Thou lettest loose thy mouth with 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; against thy own mother's son thou utterest slander.
Thou sittest, and speakest against thy brother, and slanderest thy mothers sonne.
21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence: thou didst ween that I am like thyself; [but] I will reprove thee, and set it in order before thy 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 Do but reflect on this, ye that forget God, lest I tear [you] in pieces, with 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 thanksgiving glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his course 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.
