NASB Bible

Psalms 50

A Psalm of  aAsaph.

1

 aThe Mighty One, God, the LORD, has spoken, And summoned the earth  bfrom the rising of the sun to its setting.

2

Out of Zion,  athe perfection of beauty, God  bhas shone forth.

3

May our God  acome and not keep silence;  bFire devours before Him, And it is very  ctempestuous around Him.

4

He  asummons the heavens above, And the earth, to judge His people:

5

"Gather My  agodly ones to Me, Those who have made a  bcovenant with Me by  csacrifice."

6

And the  aheavens declare His righteousness, For  bGod Himself is judge.  1Selah.

7

aHear, O My people, and I will speak; O Israel, I will testify  1against you; I am God,  byour God.

8

"I do  anot reprove you for your sacrifices, And your burnt offerings are continually before Me.

9

"I shall take no  ayoung bull out of your house Nor male goats out of your folds.

10

"For  aevery beast of the forest is Mine, The cattle on a thousand hills.

11

"I know every  abird of the mountains, And everything that moves in the field is  1Mine.

12

"If I were hungry I would not tell you, For the  aworld is Mine, and  1all it contains.

13

"Shall I eat the flesh of  1 abulls Or drink the blood of male goats?

14

"Offer to God  aa sacrifice of thanksgiving And  bpay your vows to the Most High;

15

 aCall upon Me in the day of trouble; I shall  brescue you, and you will  chonor Me."

16

But to the wicked God says, "What right have you to tell of My statutes And to take  aMy covenant in your mouth?

17

"For you  ahate discipline, And you  bcast My words behind you.

18

"When you see a thief, you  1 aare pleased with him, And  2you  bassociate with adulterers.

19

"You  1 alet your mouth loose in evil And your  btongue frames deceit.

20

"You sit and  aspeak against your brother; You slander your own mother's son.

21

"These things you have done and  aI kept silence; You thought that I was just like you; I will  breprove you and state the case in order before your eyes.

22

"Now consider this, you who  aforget God, Or I will  btear you in pieces, and there will be none to deliver.

23

"He who  aoffers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me; And to him who  1 borders his way aright I shall  cshow the salvation of God."
