Psalm 50 :: Bible in Basic English (BBE)

God the Judge of the Righteous and the Wicked.

Psa 50:1<A Psalm. Of Asaph.> The God of gods, even the Lord, has sent out his voice, and the earth is full of fear; from the coming up of the sun to its going down.

Psa 50:2

Psa 50:2From Zion, most beautiful of places, God has sent out his light.

Psa 50:3

Psa 50:3Our God will come, and will not keep quiet; with fire burning before him, and storm-winds round him.

Psa 50:4

Psa 50:4His voice will go out to the heavens and to the earth, for the judging of his people:

Psa 50:5

Psa 50:5Let my saints come together to me; those who have made an agreement with me by offerings.

Psa 50:6

Psa 50:6And let the heavens make clear his righteousness; for God himself is the judge. (Selah.)

Psa 50:7

Psa 50:7Give ear, O my people, to my words; O Israel, I will be a witness against you; I am God, even your God.

Psa 50:8

Psa 50:8I will not take up a cause against you because of your offerings, or because of your burned offerings, which are ever before me.

Psa 50:9

Psa 50:9I will take no ox out of your house, or he-goats from your flocks;

Psa 50:10

Psa 50:10For every beast of the woodland is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.

Psa 50:11

Psa 50:11I see all the birds of the mountains, and the beasts of the field are mine.

Psa 50:12

Psa 50:12If I had need of food, I would not give you word of it; for the earth is mine and all its wealth.

Psa 50:13

Psa 50:13Am I to take the flesh of the ox for my food, or the blood of goats for my drink?

Psa 50:14

Psa 50:14Make an offering of praise to God; keep the agreements which you have made with the Most High;

Psa 50:15

Psa 50:15Let your voice come up to me in the day of trouble; I will be your saviour, so that you may give glory to me.

Psa 50:16

Psa 50:16But to the sinner, God says, What are you doing, talking of my laws, or taking the words of my agreement in your mouth?

Psa 50:17

Psa 50:17Seeing that you have no desire for my teaching, turning your back on my words.

Psa 50:18

Psa 50:18When you saw a thief, you were in agreement with him, and you were joined with those who took other men's wives.

Psa 50:19

Psa 50:19You have given your mouth to evil, your tongue to words of deceit.

Psa 50:20

Psa 50:20You say evil of your brother; you make false statements against your mother's son.

Psa 50:21

Psa 50:21These things have you done, and I said nothing; it seemed to you that I was such a one as yourself; but I will make a protest against you, and put them in order before your eyes.

Psa 50:22

Psa 50:22Now keep this in mind, you who have no memory of God, for fear that you may be crushed under my hand, with no one to give you help:

Psa 50:23

Psa 50:23Whoever makes an offering of praise gives glory to me; and to him who is upright in his ways I will make clear the salvation of God.
