Psalm 50:1-8

Common English Bible

Psalm 50

A psalm of Asaph.

50 From the rising of the sun to where it sets,
    God, the Lord God, speaks,
        calling out to the earth.
²From Zion, perfect in beauty,
    God shines brightly.
³Our God is coming;
    he won’t keep quiet.
A devouring fire is before him;
    a storm rages all around him.
⁴God calls out to the skies above
    and to the earth in order to judge his people:
⁵“Bring my faithful to me,
    those who made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”
⁶The skies proclaim his righteousness
    because God himself is the judge. Selah

⁷“Listen, my people, I will now speak;
    Israel, I will now testify against you.
    I am God—your God!
⁸I’m not punishing you for your sacrifices
    or for your entirely burned offerings,
    which are always before me.

Common English Bible

²²So consider this carefully, all you who forget God,
or I’ll rip you to pieces with no one to deliver you:
²³The one who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving is the one who honors me.
And it is to the one who charts the correct path that I will show divine salvation.”
