| # Chapter 50
| {A Psalm. Of Asaph.} łGod, Elohim-Jehovah, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
| Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth.
| Our God will come, and will not keep silence: fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
| He will call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people:
| Gather unto me my godly ones, those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice!
| And the heavens shall declare his righteousness; for God executeth judgment himself. Selah.
| Hear, my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I am God, thy God.
| I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt-offerings, continually before me;
| I will take no bullock out of thy house, [nor] he-goats out of thy folds:
| For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle upon a thousand hills;
| I know all the fowl of the mountains, and the roaming creatures of the field are mine:
| If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
| Should I eat the flesh of bulls, and drink the blood of goats?
| Offer unto God thanksgiving, and perform thy vows unto the Most High;
| And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
| But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant into thy mouth,
| Seeing thou hast hated correction and hast cast my words behind thee?
| When thou sawest a thief, thou didst take pleasure in him, and thy portion was with adulterers;
| Thou lettest thy mouth loose to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit;
| Thou sittest [and] speakest against thy brother, thou revilest thine own mother's son:
| These [things] hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether as thyself: [but] I will reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine eyes.
| Now consider this, ye that forget +God, lest I tear in pieces, and there be no deliverer.
| Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me; and to him that ordereth [his] way will I shew the salvation of God.
