Psalm 50

NASB

Psalm 50

God the Judge of the Righteous and the Wicked.

^{Tools
1} A Psalm of ^(a)Asaph.

^(A)The Mighty One, God, the Lord, has spoken,
And summoned the earth ^(B)from the rising of the sun to its setting.

^{Tools
2}

Out of Zion, ^(C)the perfection of beauty,
God ^(D)has shone forth.

^{Tools
3}

May our God ^(E)come and not keep silence;
^(F)Fire devours before Him,
And it is very ^(G)tempestuous around Him.

^{Tools
4}

He ^(H)summons the heavens above,
And the earth, to judge His people:

^{Tools
5}

“Gather My ^(I)godly ones to Me,
Those who have made a ^(J)covenant with Me by ^(K)sacrifice.”

^{Tools
6}

And the ^(L)heavens declare His righteousness,
For ^(M)God Himself is judge. ^(b)Selah.

^{Tools
7}

“^(N)Hear, O My people, and I will speak;
O Israel, I will testify ^(c)against you;
I am God, ^(O)your God.

^{Tools
8}

“I do ^(P)not reprove you for your sacrifices,
And your burnt offerings are continually before Me.

^{Tools
9}

“I shall take no ^(Q)young bull out of your house
Nor male goats out of your folds.

^{Tools
10}

“For ^(R)every beast of the forest is Mine,
The cattle on a thousand hills.

^{Tools
11}

“I know every ^(S)bird of the mountains,
And everything that moves in the field is ^(d)Mine.

^{Tools
12}

“If I were hungry I would not tell you,
For the ^(T)world is Mine, and ^(e)all it contains.

^{Tools
13}

“Shall I eat the flesh of ^(f)^(U)bulls
Or drink the blood of male goats?

^{Tools
14}

“Offer to God ^(V)a sacrifice of thanksgiving
And ^(W)pay your vows to the Most High;

^{Tools
15}

^(X)Call upon Me in the day of trouble;
I shall ^(Y)rescue you, and you will ^(Z)honor Me.”

^{Tools
16}

But to the wicked God says,
“What right have you to tell of My statutes
And to take ^(AA)My covenant in your mouth?

^{Tools
17}

“For you ^(AB)hate discipline,
And you ^(AC)cast My words behind you.

^{Tools
18}

“When you see a thief, you ^(g)^(AD)are pleased with him,
And ^(h)you ^(AE)associate with adulterers.

^{Tools
19}

“You ⁽ⁱ⁾^(AF)let your mouth loose in evil
And your ^(AG)tongue frames deceit.

^{Tools
20}

“You sit and ^(AH)speak against your brother;
You slander your own mother’s son.

^{Tools
21}

“These things you have done and ^(AI)I kept silence;
You thought that I was just like you;
I will ^(AJ)reprove you and state the case in order before your eyes.

^{Tools
22}

“Now consider this, you who ^(AK)forget God,
Or I will ^(AL)tear you in pieces, and there will be none to deliver.

^{Tools
23}

“He who ^(AM)offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me;
And to him who ^(j)^(AN)orders his way aright
I shall ^(AO)show the salvation of God.”
