Psalms 50

1The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.

1A 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.

2Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.

2From Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shone.

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

3Our God cometh, and is not silent, Fire before Him doth devour, And round about him it hath been very tempestuous.

4He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.

4He doth call unto the heavens from above, And unto the earth, to judge His people.

5Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.

5Gather ye to Me My saints, Making covenant with Me over a sacrifice.

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

6And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself <FI>is<Fi> judge. Selah.

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

7Hear, O My people, and I speak, O Israel, and I testify against thee, God, thy God <FI>am<Fi> I.

8I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.

8Not for thy sacrifices do I reprove thee, Yea, thy burnt-offerings <FI>Are<Fi> before Me continually.

9I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.

9I take not from thy house a bullock, From thy folds he goats.

10For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.

10For Mine <FI>is<Fi> every beast of the forest, The cattle on the hills of oxen.

11I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.

11I have known every fowl of the mountains, And the wild beast of the field <FI>is<Fi> with Me.

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

12If I am hungry I tell not to thee, For Mine <FI>is<Fi> the world and its fulness.

13Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

13Do I eat the flesh of bulls, And drink the blood of he-goats?

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

14Sacrifice to God confession, And complete to the Most High thy vows.

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

15And call Me in a day of adversity, I deliver thee, and thou honourest Me.

16But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?

16And to the wicked hath God said: What to thee--to recount My statutes? That thou liftest up My covenant on thy mouth?

17Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.

17Yea, thou hast hated instruction, And dost cast My words behind thee.

18When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.

18If thou hast seen a thief, Then thou art pleased with him, And with adulterers <FI>is<Fi> thy portion.

19Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.

19Thy mouth thou hast sent forth with evil, And thy tongue joineth deceit together,

20Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother’s son.

20Thou sittest, against thy brother thou speakest, Against a son of thy mother givest slander.

21These 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.

21These thou didst, and I kept silent, Thou hast thought that I am like thee, I reprove thee, and set in array before thine eyes.

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

22Understand this, I pray you, Ye who are forgetting God, Lest I tear, and there is no deliverer.

23Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.

23He who is sacrificing praise honoureth Me, As to him who maketh a way, I cause him to look on the salvation of God!
