| Psalms 50: (ASV) |
| 1) The Mighty One, God, Jehovah, hath spoken, And called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. |
| 2) Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth. |
| 3) Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence: A fire devoureth before him, And it is very tempestuous round about him. |
| 4) He calleth to the heavens above, And to the earth, that he may judge his people: |
| 5) Gather my saints together unto me, Those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. |
| 6) And the heavens shall declare his righteousness; For God is judge himself. [Selah] |
| 7) Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I am God, even thy God. |
| 8) I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; And thy burnt-offerings are continually before me. |
| 9) I will take no bullock out of thy house, Nor he-goats out of thy folds. |
| 10) For every beast of the forest is mine, And the cattle upon a thousand hills. |
| 11) I know all the birds of the mountains; And the wild beasts of the field are mine. |
| 12) If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; For the world is mine, and the fulness thereof. |
| 13) Will I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats? |
| 14) Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; And pay thy vows unto the Most High; |
| 15) And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. |
| 16) But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, And that thou hast taken my covenant in thy mouth, |
| 17) Seeing that thou hatest instruction, And castest my words behind thee? |
| 18) When thou sawest a thief, thou consentedst with him, And hast been partaker with adulterers. |
| 19) Thou givest thy mouth to evil, And thy tongue frameth deceit. |
| 20) Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; Thou slanderest thine own mother's son. |
| 21) These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; Thou thoughtest that I was altogether such a one as thyself: But I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. |
| 22) Now consider this, ye that forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver: |
| 23) Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifieth me; And to him that ordereth his way aright Will I show the salvation of God. |
