Psalm 50 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

God, the Judge of the Righteous and the Wicked.

Psa 50:1

A Psalm of [fn]Asaph.

The Mighty One, God, the LORD, has spoken

And summoned the earth, from [fn]the rising of the sun to its setting.

Psa 50:2

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,

God has shone.

Psa 50:3

May our God come and not keep silent;

Fire devours before Him,

And a storm is violently raging around Him.

Psa 50:4

He summons the heavens above,

And the earth, to judge His people:

Psa 50:5

“Gather My godly ones to Me,

Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”

Psa 50:6

And the heavens declare His righteousness,

For God Himself is judge. Selah

Psa 50:7

“Hear, My people, and I will speak;

Israel, I will testify [fn]against you;

I am God, your God.

Psa 50:8

“I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices,

And your burnt offerings are continually before Me.

Psa 50:9

“I will not take a bull from your house,

Nor male goats from your folds.

Psa 50:10

“For every animal of the forest is Mine,

The cattle on a thousand hills.

Psa 50:11

“I know every bird of the mountains,

And everything that moves in the field is [fn]Mine.

Psa 50:12

“If I were hungry I would not tell you,

For the world is Mine, and [fn]everything it contains.

Psa 50:13

“Shall I eat the flesh of [fn]bulls

Or drink the blood of male goats?

Psa 50:14

“Offer God a sacrifice of thanksgiving

And pay your vows to the Most High;

Psa 50:15

Call upon Me on the day of trouble;

I will rescue you, and you will honor Me.”

Psa 50:16

But to the wicked God says,

“What right do you have to tell of My statutes

And to take My covenant in your mouth?

Psa 50:17

“For you yourself hate discipline,

And you throw My words behind you.

Psa 50:18

“When you see a thief, you become friends with him,

And [fn]you associate with adulterers.

Psa 50:19

“You [fn]let your mouth loose in evil,

And your tongue harnesses deceit.

Psa 50:20

“You sit and speak against your brother;

You slander your own mother’s son.

Psa 50:21

“These things you have done and I kept silent;

You thought that I was just like you;

I will rebuke you and present the case before your eyes.

Psa 50:22

“Now consider this, you who forget God,

Or I will tear you in pieces, and there will be no one to save you.

Psa 50:23

“He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me;

And to him who sets his way properly

I will show the salvation of God.”
