A Psalm of Asaph. The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof (50:1)

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined (50:2) com1

Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him (50:3)

He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people (50:4)

Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice (50:5)

And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah (50:6)

Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God (50:7)

I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me (50:8)

I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds (50:9)

For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills (50:10)

I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine (50:11)

If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof (50:12)

Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats (50:13)

Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High (50:14)

And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me (50:15)

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 (50:16)

Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee (50:17)

When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers (50:18)

Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit (50:19)

Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son (50:20)

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 (50:21)

Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver (50:22)

Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I show the salvation of God (50:23)
