Psalms 50

1[A Psalm of Asaph.] The mighty Elohim, the Yahuah, has spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. 2Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, Elohim has shined. 3Our Elohim shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him. 4He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people. 5Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. 6And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for Elohim judge himself. Selah. 7Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against you: I Elohim, your Elohim. 8I will not reprove you for your sacrifices or your burnt offerings, continually before me. 9I will take no bullock out of your house, he goats out of your folds. 10For every beast of the forest mine, the cattle upon a thousand hills. 11I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field mine. 12If I were hungry, I would not tell you: for the world mine, and the fulness thereof. 13Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? 14Offer unto Elohim thanksgiving; and pay your vows unto the most High: 15And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me. 16But unto the wicked Elohim says, What hast you to do to declare my statutes, or you shouldest take my covenant in your mouth? 17Seeing you hatest instruction, and castest my words behind you. 18When you sawest a thief, then you consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers. 19you givest your mouth to evil, and your tongue frameth deceit. 20you sittest speakest against your brother; you slanderest your own mother's son. 21These hast you done, and I kept silence; you thoughtest that I was altogether as thyself: I will reprove you, and set in order before your eyes. 22Now consider this, ye that forget Elohim, lest I tear in pieces, and none to deliver. 23Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth conversation will I shew the salvation of Elohim.
