Ang Panginoon ang hahatol sa matuwid at sa masama. (A)Awit ni Asaph.

50 Ang makapangyarihang Dios, ang Dios na Panginoon, ay nagsalita,
At tinawag ang lupa (B)mula sa pagsikat ng araw hanggang sa paglubog niyaon.
Mula sa Sion na (C)kasakdalan ng kagandahan,
(D)Sumilang ang Dios.
Ang aming Dios ay darating at hindi tatahimik;
(E)Isang apoy na mamumugnaw sa harap niya,
At magiging totoong malaking bagyo sa palibot niya.
(F)Siya'y tatawag sa langit sa itaas,
At sa lupa upang mahatulan niya ang kaniyang bayan:
Pisanin mo ang (G)aking mga banal sa akin;
(H)Yaong nangakikipagtipan sa akin sa pamamagitan ng hain.
At (I)ipahahayag ng langit ang kaniyang katuwiran;
Sapagka't ang Dios ay siyang hukom. (Selah)
(J)Iyong dinggin, Oh aking bayan, at ako'y magsasalita;
Oh Israel, at ako'y magpapatotoo sa iyo:
(K)Ako'y Dios, iyong Dios.
(L)Hindi kita sasawayin dahil sa iyong mga hain;
At ang iyong mga handog na susunugin ay laging nangasa harap ko.
(M)Hindi ako kukuha ng baka sa iyong bahay,
Ni ng kambing na lalake sa iyong mga kawan.
10 Sapagka't bawa't hayop sa gubat ay akin,
At ang hayop sa libong burol.
11 Nakikilala ko ang lahat ng mga ibon sa mga bundok:
At (N)ang mga mabangis na hayop sa parang ay akin.
12 Kung ako'y magutom ay hindi ko sasaysayin sa iyo:
(O)Sapagka't ang sanglibutan ay akin, at ang buong narito.
13 Kakanin ko ba ang laman ng mga toro,
O iinumin ang dugo ng mga kambing?
14 (P)Ihandog mo sa Dios ang haing pasasalamat:
At (Q)tuparin mo ang iyong mga panata sa Kataastaasan:
15 At (R)tumawag ka sa akin sa kaarawan ng kabagabagan;
Ililigtas kita, at iyong luluwalhatiin ako.
16 Nguni't sa masama ay sinasabi ng Dios,
Anong iyong gagawin upang ipahayag ang aking mga palatuntunan,
At iyong kinuha ang aking tipan sa iyong bibig?
17 Palibhasa't iyong kinapopootan ang pagtuturo,
At iyong iniwawaksi ang aking mga salita sa likuran mo.
18 Pagka nakakita ka ng magnanakaw, pumipisan ka sa kaniya,
At naging kabahagi ka ng mga mapangalunya.
19 Iyong ibinubuka ang iyong bibig sa kasamaan,
At ang iyong dila ay kumakatha ng karayaan.
20 Ikaw ay nauupo, at (S)nagsasalita laban sa iyong kapatid;
Iyong dinudusta ang anak ng iyong sariling ina.
21 Ang mga bagay na ito ay iyong ginawa, (T)at ako'y tumahimik;
Iyong inisip na tunay na ako'y gayong gaya mo:
Nguni't sasawayin kita, at (U)aking isasaayos sa harap ng iyong mga mata.
22 Gunitain nga ninyo ito, ninyong nangakalilimot sa Dios,
Baka kayo'y aking pagluraylurayin at walang magligtas:
23 (V)Ang naghahandog ng haing pasasalamat ay lumuluwalhati sa akin;
At sa kaniya na nagaayos ng kaniyang pakikipagusap
Aking ipakikita ang pagliligtas ng Dios.

God the Righteous Judge

A Psalm of Asaph.

50 The (A)Mighty One, God the Lord,
Has spoken and called the earth
From the rising of the sun to its going down.
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
(B)God will shine forth.
Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent;
(C)A fire shall devour before Him,
And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him.

(D)He shall call to the heavens from above,
And to the earth, that He may judge His people:
“Gather (E)My saints together to Me,
(F)Those who have [a]made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”
Let the (G)heavens declare His righteousness,
For (H)God Himself is Judge. Selah

“Hear, O My people, and I will speak,
O Israel, and I will testify against you;
(I)I am God, your God!
(J)I will not [b]rebuke you (K)for your sacrifices
Or your burnt offerings,
Which are continually before Me.
(L)I will not take a bull from your house,
Nor goats out of your folds.
10 For every beast of the forest is Mine,
And the cattle on 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 you;
(M)For the world is Mine, and all its fullness.
13 (N)Will I eat the flesh of bulls,
Or drink the blood of goats?
14 (O)Offer to God thanksgiving,
And (P)pay your vows to the Most High.
15 (Q)Call upon Me in the day of trouble;
I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”

16 But to the wicked God says:
“What right have you to declare My statutes,
Or take My covenant in your mouth,
17 (R)Seeing you hate instruction
And cast My words behind you?
18 When you saw a thief, you (S)consented[c] with him,
And have been a (T)partaker with adulterers.
19 You give your mouth to evil,
And (U)your tongue frames deceit.
20 You sit and speak against your brother;
You slander your own mother’s son.
21 These things you have done, and I kept silent;
(V)You thought that I was altogether like you;
But I will rebuke you,
And (W)set them in order before your eyes.

22 “Now consider this, you who (X)forget God,
Lest I tear you in pieces,
And there be none to deliver:
23 Whoever offers praise glorifies Me;
And (Y)to him who orders his conduct aright
I will show the salvation of God.”

Psalm 50

A psalm of Asaph.

The Mighty One, God, the Lord,(A)
    speaks and summons the earth
    from the rising of the sun to where it sets.(B)
From Zion,(C) perfect in beauty,(D)
    God shines forth.(E)
Our God comes(F)
    and will not be silent;(G)
a fire devours(H) before him,(I)
    and around him a tempest(J) rages.
He summons the heavens above,
    and the earth,(K) that he may judge his people:(L)
“Gather to me this consecrated people,(M)
    who made a covenant(N) with me by sacrifice.”
And the heavens proclaim(O) his righteousness,
    for he is a God of justice.[a][b](P)

“Listen, my people, and I will speak;
    I will testify(Q) against you, Israel:
    I am God, your God.(R)
I bring no charges(S) against you concerning your sacrifices
    or concerning your burnt offerings,(T) which are ever before me.
I have no need of a bull(U) from your stall
    or of goats(V) from your pens,(W)
10 for every animal of the forest(X) is mine,
    and the cattle on a thousand hills.(Y)
11 I know every bird(Z) in the mountains,
    and the insects in the fields(AA) are mine.
12 If I were hungry I would not tell you,
    for the world(AB) is mine, and all that is in it.(AC)
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls
    or drink the blood of goats?

14 “Sacrifice thank offerings(AD) to God,
    fulfill your vows(AE) to the Most High,(AF)
15 and call(AG) on me in the day of trouble;(AH)
    I will deliver(AI) you, and you will honor(AJ) me.”

16 But to the wicked person, God says:

“What right have you to recite my laws
    or take my covenant(AK) on your lips?(AL)
17 You hate(AM) my instruction
    and cast my words behind(AN) you.
18 When you see a thief, you join(AO) with him;
    you throw in your lot with adulterers.(AP)
19 You use your mouth for evil
    and harness your tongue to deceit.(AQ)
20 You sit and testify against your brother(AR)
    and slander your own mother’s son.
21 When you did these things and I kept silent,(AS)
    you thought I was exactly[c] like you.
But I now arraign(AT) you
    and set my accusations(AU) before you.

22 “Consider this, you who forget God,(AV)
    or I will tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you:(AW)
23 Those who sacrifice thank offerings honor me,
    and to the blameless[d] I will show my salvation.(AX)

God Himself Is Judge

A Psalm of (A)Asaph.

50 (B)The Mighty One, God the Lord,
    speaks and summons the earth
    (C)from the rising of the sun to its setting.
Out of Zion, (D)the perfection of beauty,
    (E)God shines forth.

Our God comes; he (F)does not keep silence;[a]
    before him is a devouring (G)fire,
    around him a mighty tempest.
(H)He calls to the heavens above
    and to the earth, that he may judge his people:
“Gather to me my faithful ones,
    who made (I)a covenant with me by sacrifice!”
(J)The heavens declare his righteousness,
    for (K)God himself is judge! Selah

(L)“Hear, O my people, and I will speak;
    O Israel, I will testify against you.
    (M)I am God, your God.
Not for your sacrifices (N)do I rebuke you;
    your burnt offerings are continually before me.
I will not accept a bull from your house
    or goats from your folds.
10 For every beast of the forest is mine,
    the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 (O)I know all the birds of the hills,
    and all that moves in the field is mine.

12 “If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
    (P)for the world and its fullness are mine.
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls
    or drink the blood of goats?
14 (Q)Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving,[b]
    and (R)perform your vows to the Most High,
15 and (S)call upon me in the day of trouble;
    I will (T)deliver you, and you shall (U)glorify me.”

16 But to the wicked God says:
    “What right have you to recite my statutes
    or take my covenant on your lips?
17 (V)For you hate discipline,
    (W)and you cast my words behind you.
18 If you see a thief, (X)you are pleased with him,
    (Y)and you keep company with adulterers.

19 “You give your mouth free rein for evil,
    (Z)and your tongue frames deceit.
20 You sit and speak against your brother;
    you slander your own mother's son.
21 These things you have done, and I (AA)have been silent;
    you thought that I[c] was one like yourself.
But now I (AB)rebuke you and (AC)lay the charge before you.

22 “Mark this, then, you who (AD)forget God,
    lest I tear you apart, and there be (AE)none to deliver!
23 The one who (AF)offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me;
    to one who (AG)orders his way rightly
    I will show the (AH)salvation of God!”
