Psalm 50God as Judge
|
|
|
|
1. The Mighty One, God, the Lord, speaks;
|
|
he summons the earth
|
|
from the rising of the sun to its setting.
|
|
|
|
2. From Zion, the perfection of beauty,
|
|
God appears in radiance.
|
|
|
|
3. Our God is coming; he will not be silent!
|
|
Devouring fire precedes him,
|
|
and a storm rages around him.
|
|
|
|
4. On high, he summons heaven and earth
|
|
in order to judge his people:
|
|
|
|
5. "Gather my faithful ones to me,
|
|
those who made a covenant with me by sacrifice."
|
|
|
|
6. The heavens proclaim his righteousness,
|
|
for God is the Judge.Selah
|
|
|
|
7. "Listen, my people, and I will speak;
|
|
I will testify against you, Israel.
|
|
I am God, your God.
|
|
|
|
8. I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices
|
|
or for your burnt offerings,
|
|
which are continually before me.
|
|
|
|
9. I will not take a bull from your household
|
|
or male goats from your pens,
|
|
|
|
10. for every animal of the forest is mine,
|
|
the cattle on a thousand hills.
|
|
|
|
11. I know every bird of the mountains,
|
|
and the creatures of the field are mine.
|
|
|
|
12. If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
|
|
for the world and everything in it is mine.
|
|
|
|
13. Do I eat the flesh of bulls
|
|
or drink the blood of goats?
|
|
|
|
14. Offer a thanksgiving sacrifice to God,
|
|
and pay your vows to the Most High.
|
|
|
|
15. Call on me in a day of trouble;
|
|
I will rescue you, and you will honor me."
|
|
|
|
16. But God says to the wicked:
|
|
"What right do you have to recite my statutes
|
|
and to take my covenant on your lips?
|
|
|
|
17. You hate instruction
|
|
and fling my words behind you.
|
|
|
|
18. When you see a thief,
|
|
you make friends with him,
|
|
and you associate with adulterers.
|
|
|
|
19. You unleash your mouth for evil
|
|
and harness your tongue for deceit.
|
|
|
|
20. You sit, maligning your brother,
|
|
slandering your mother's son.
|
|
|
|
21. You have done these things, and I kept silent;
|
|
you thought I was just like you.
|
|
|
|
But I will rebuke you
|
|
and lay out the case before you.
|
|
|
|
22. "Understand this, you who forget God,
|
|
or I will tear you apart,
|
|
and there will be no one to rescue you.
|
|
|
|
23. Whoever offers a thanksgiving sacrifice honors me,
|
|
and whoever orders his conduct,
|
|
I will show him the salvation of God."
