Psalm 50:1-15

New American Standard Bible

God, the Judge of the Righteous and the Wicked.

A Psalm of ^[a]Asaph.

50 ^(A)The Mighty One, God, the Lord, has spoken
And summoned the earth, ^(B)from ^[b]the rising of the sun to its setting.
²Out of Zion, ^(C)the perfection of beauty,
God ^(D)has shone.
³May our God ^(E)come and not keep silent;
^(F)Fire devours before Him,
And a storm is violently ^(G)raging around Him.
⁴He ^(H)summons the heavens above,
And the earth, to judge His people:
⁵“Gather My ^(I)godly ones to Me,
Those who have made a ^(J)covenant with Me by ^(K)sacrifice.”
⁶And the ^(L)heavens declare His righteousness,
For ^(M)God Himself is judge. Selah

⁷“^(N)Hear, My people, and I will speak;
Israel, I will testify ^[c]against you;
I am God, ^(O)your God.
⁸I do ^(P)not rebuke you for your sacrifices,
And your burnt offerings are continually before Me.
⁹I will not take a ^(Q)bull from your house,
Nor male goats from your folds.
¹⁰For ^(R)every animal of the forest is Mine,
The cattle on a thousand hills.
¹¹I know every ^(S)bird of the mountains,
And everything that moves in the field is ^[d]Mine.
¹²If I were hungry I would not tell you,
For the ^(T)world is Mine, and ^[e]everything it contains.
¹³Shall I eat the flesh of ^[f]^(U)bulls
Or drink the blood of male goats?
¹⁴Offer God ^(V)a sacrifice of thanksgiving
And ^(W)pay your vows to the Most High;
¹⁵^(X)Call upon Me on the day of trouble;
I will ^(Y)rescue you, and you will ^(Z)honor Me.”
