Psalm 50 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

God the Judge of the Righteous and the Wicked.

Psa 50:1
A Psalm of Asaph.
The Mighty One, God, Jehovah, hath spoken,
And called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
Psa 50:2
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
God hath shined forth.
Psa 50:3
Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence:
A fire devoureth before him,
And it is very tempestuous round about him.
Psa 50:4
He calleth to the heavens above,
And to the earth, that he may judge his people:
Psa 50:5
Gather my saints together unto me,
Those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
Psa 50:6
And the heavens shall declare his righteousness;
For God is judge himself.
[Selah
Psa 50:7
Hear, O my people, and I will speak;
O Israel, and I will testify unto thee:
I am God, even thy God.
Psa 50:8
I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices;
And thy burnt-offerings are continually before me.
Psa 50:9
I will take no bullock out of thy house,
Nor he-goats out of thy folds.
Psa 50:10
For every beast of the forest is mine,
And the cattle upon a thousand hills.
Psa 50:11
I know all the birds of the mountains;
And the wild beasts of the field are mine.
Psa 50:12
If I were hungry, I would not tell thee;
For the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
Psa 50:13
Will I eat the flesh of bulls,
Or drink the blood of goats?
Psa 50:14
Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving;
And pay thy vows unto the Most High;
Psa 50:15
And call upon me in the day of trouble:
I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
Psa 50:16
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,
Psa 50:17
Seeing that thou hatest instruction,
And castest my words behind thee?
Psa 50:18
When thou sawest a thief, thou consentedst with him,
And hast been partaker with adulterers.
Psa 50:19
Thou givest thy mouth to evil,
And thy tongue frameth deceit.
Psa 50:20
Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother;
Thou slanderest thine own mother’s son.
Psa 50:21
These things hast thou done, and I kept silence;
Thou thoughtest that I was altogether such a one as thyself:
But I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
Psa 50:22
Now consider this, ye that forget God,
Lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver:
Psa 50:23
Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifieth me;
And to him that ordereth his way aright
Will I show the salvation of God.
