And it is very tempestuous around Him.

And the earth, to judge His people:

Psa 50:5

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

Psa 50:6

Psa 50:6And the heavens declare His righteousness,
For God Himself is judge. [fn]Selah.

O Israel, I will testify [fn]against you;
I am God, your God.

Psa 50:8“I do not reprove you for your sacrifices,
And your burnt offerings are continually before Me.

Psa 50:9“I shall take no young bull out of your house
Nor male goats out of your folds.

The cattle on a thousand hills.

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

Or drink the blood of male goats?

And pay your vows to the Most High;

Psa 50:15Call upon Me in the day of trouble;
I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me.”

Psa 50:16

Psa 50:16But to the wicked God says,
“What right have you to tell of My statutes
And to take My covenant in your mouth?

And you cast My words behind you.

Psa 50:19“You [fn]let your mouth loose in evil
And your tongue frames deceit.

You slander your own mother’s son.

Psa 50:21

Psa 50:21“These things you have done and I kept silence;
You thought that I was just like you;
I will reprove you and state the case in order before your eyes.

Psa 50:22

Psa 50:22“Now consider this, you who forget God,
Or I will tear you in pieces, and there will be none to deliver.

And to him who [fn]orders his way aright
I shall show the salvation of God.”
