Psalm 50:1-14

New King James Version

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.
²Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
^(B)God will shine forth.
³Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent;
^(C)A fire shall devour before Him,
And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him.

⁴^(D)He shall call to the heavens from above,
And to the earth, that He may judge His people:
⁵“Gather ^(E)My saints together to Me,
^(F)Those who have ^[a]made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”
⁶Let the ^(G)heavens declare His righteousness,
For ^(H)God Himself is Judge. Selah

⁷“Hear, O My people, and I will speak,
O Israel, and I will testify against you;
^(I)I am God, your God!
⁸^(J)I will not ^[b]rebuke you ^(K)for your sacrifices
Or your burnt offerings,
Which are continually before Me.
⁹^(L)I will not take a bull from your house,
Nor goats out of your folds.
¹⁰For every beast of the forest is Mine,
And the cattle on a thousand hills.
¹¹I 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.
