psalms 50

1 - The Mighty One, God, The LORD, speaks,and calls the earth from sunrise to sunset.
2 - Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,God shines out.
3 - Our God comes, and does not keep silent.A fire devours before him.It is very stormy around him.
4 - He calls to the heavens above,to the earth, that he may judge his people:
5 - "Gather my saints together to me,those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice."
6 - The heavens shall declare his righteousness,for God himself is judge.Selah.
7 - "Hear, my people, and I will speak;Israel, and I will testify against you.I am God, your God.
8 - I don't rebuke you for your sacrifices.Your burnt offerings are continually before me.
9 - I have no need for a bull from your stall,nor male goats from your pens.
10 - For every animal of the forest is mine,and the livestock on a thousand hills.
11 - I know all the birds of the mountains.The wild animals of the field are mine.
12 - If I were hungry, I would not tell you,for the world is mine, and all that is in it.
13 - Will I eat the meat of bulls,or drink the blood of goats?
14 - Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving.Pay your vows to the Most High.
15 - Call on me in the day of trouble.I will deliver you, and you will honor me."
16 - But to the wicked God says,"What right do you have to declare my statutes,that you have taken my covenant on your lips,
17 - since you hate instruction,and throw my words behind you?
18 - When you saw a thief, you consented with him,and have participated with adulterers.
19 - "You give your mouth to evil.Your tongue frames deceit.
20 - You sit and speak against your brother.You slander your own mother's son.
21 - You have done these things, and I kept silent.You thought that I was just like you.I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.
22 - "Now consider this, you who forget God,lest I tear you into pieces, and there be no one to deliver.
23 - Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me,and prepares his way so that I will show God's salvation to him."
