Psalm 50

God as Judge

A psalm of Asaph.(A)

1 The Mighty One, God,[a] the Lord, speaks;
he summons the earth
from the rising of the sun to its setting.(B)
2 From Zion, the perfection of beauty,
God appears in radiance.[b](C)
3 Our God is coming; he will not be silent!
Devouring fire precedes him,
and a storm rages around him.(D)
4 On high, he summons heaven and earth
in order to judge his people:(E)
5 “Gather my faithful ones to me,
those who made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”(F)
6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness,(G)
for God is the Judge.(H)Selah

7 “Listen, my people, and I will speak;
I will testify against you, Israel.
I am God, your God.(I)
8 I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices
or for your burnt offerings,
which are continually before me.(J)
9 I will not take a bull from your household
or male goats from your pens,(K)
10 for every animal of the forest is mine,
the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 I know every bird of the mountains,
and the creatures of the field are mine.(L)
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
for the world and everything in it is mine.(M)
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?(N)
14 Offer a thanksgiving sacrifice to God,(O)
and pay your vows to the Most High.(P)
15 Call on me in a day of trouble;
I will rescue you, and you will honor me.”(Q)

16 But God says to the wicked:
“What right do you have to recite my statutes
and to take my covenant on your lips?(R)
17 You hate instruction
and fling my words behind you.(S)
18 When you see a thief,
you make friends with him,
and you associate with adulterers.(T)
19 You unleash your mouth for evil
and harness your tongue for deceit.(U)
20 You sit, maligning your brother,
slandering your mother’s son.(V)
21 You have done these things, and I kept silent;
you thought I was just like you.(W)
But I will rebuke you
and lay out the case before you.[c](X)

22 “Understand this, you who forget God,
or I will tear you apart,
and there will be no one to rescue you.(Y)
23 Whoever offers a thanksgiving sacrifice honors me,
and whoever orders his conduct,
I will show him the salvation of God.”(Z)

Psalm 50
New International Version

Psalm 50

A psalm of Asaph.

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

7 “Listen, my people, and I will speak;
    I will testify(Q) against you, Israel:
    I am God, your God.(R)
8 I bring no charges(S) against you concerning your sacrifices
    or concerning your burnt offerings,(T) which are ever before me.
9 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)”

Luke 9:57-62
Christian Standard Bible

Following Jesus

57 As they were traveling on the road someone said to him,(A) “I will follow you wherever you go.”

58 Jesus told him, “Foxes have dens, and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.” 59 Then he said to another, “Follow me.”

“Lord,” he said, “first let me go bury my father.”

60 But he told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and spread the news of the kingdom of God.”(B)

61 Another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but first let me go and say good-bye to those at my house.”(C)

62 But Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”

The Cost of Following Jesus(A)

57 As they were walking along the road,(B) a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”

Romans 9:30-10:13
Christian Standard Bible

Israel’s Present State

30 What should we say then?(A) Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained righteousness—namely the righteousness that comes from faith.(B) 31 But Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness,(C) has not achieved the righteousness of the law.[a](D) 32 Why is that? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were by works.[b] They stumbled over the stumbling stone.(E) 33 As it is written,

Look, I am putting a stone in Zion to stumble over
and a rock to trip over,
and the one who believes on him(F)
will not be put to shame.[c](G)

Righteousness by Faith Alone

10 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God concerning them[d] is for their salvation. 2 I can testify about them that they have zeal for God,(H) but not according to knowledge. 3 Since they are ignorant of the righteousness of God(I) and attempted to establish their own righteousness, they have not submitted to God’s righteousness. 4 For Christ is the end[e] of the law for righteousness(J) to everyone who believes,(K) 5 since Moses writes about the righteousness that is from the law: The one who does these things will live by them.[f](L) 6 But the righteousness that comes from faith(M) speaks like this: Do not say in your heart, “Who will go up to heaven?”[g](N) that is, to bring Christ down 7 or, “Who will go down into the abyss?”[h](O) that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.(P) 8 On the contrary, what does it say? The message is near you, in your mouth and in your heart.[i](Q) This is the message of faith that we proclaim: 9 If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,”(R) and believe in your heart(S) that God raised him from the dead,(T) you will be saved. 10 One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, Everyone who believes on him will not be put to shame,[j](U) 12 since there is no distinction between Jew and Greek,(V) because the same Lord(W) of all(X) richly blesses all who call on him. 13 For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.[k](Y)

Romans 9:30-10:13
New International Version

Israel’s Unbelief

30 What then shall we say?(A) That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;(B) 31 but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness,(C) have not attained their goal.(D) 32 Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone.(E) 33 As it is written:

“See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble
    and a rock that makes them fall,
    and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”[a](F)

10 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire(G) and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous(H) for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.(I) 4 Christ is the culmination of the law(J) so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.(K)

5 Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”[b](L) 6 But the righteousness that is by faith(M) says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’”[c](N) (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 “or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’”[d](O) (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).(P) 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,”[e](Q) that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: 9 If you declare(R) with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,”(S) and believe(T) in your heart that God raised him from the dead,(U) you will be saved.(V) 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”[f](W) 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile(X)—the same Lord is Lord of all(Y) and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord(Z) will be saved.”[g](AA)
