Psalms 50 NASB - New American Standard BibleNo. 50 of the Psalms—New American Standard Bible (NASB)
- ¶ 1The Mighty One, God, the LORD, has spoken,
And summoned the earth 2from the rising of the sun to its setting. - Out of Zion, 3the perfection of beauty,
God 4has shone forth. - May our God 5come and not keep silence;
6Fire devours before Him,
And it is very 7tempestuous around Him. - He 8summons the heavens above,
And the earth, to judge His people: - “Gather My 9godly ones to Me,
Those who have made a 10covenant with Me by 11sacrifice.” - And the 12heavens declare His righteousness,
For 13God Himself is judge. [a]Selah. - ¶ “14Hear, O My people, and I will speak;
O Israel, I will testify [b]against you;
I am God, 15your God. - “I do 16not reprove you for your sacrifices,
And your burnt offerings are continually before Me. - “I shall take no 17young bull out of your house
Nor male goats out of your folds. - “For 18every beast of the forest is Mine,
The cattle on a thousand hills. - “I know every 19bird of the mountains,
And everything that moves in the field is [c]Mine. - “If I were hungry I would not tell you,
For the 20world is Mine, and [d]all it contains. - “Shall I eat the flesh of [e]21bulls
Or drink the blood of male goats? - “Offer to God 22a sacrifice of thanksgiving
And 23pay your vows to the Most High; - 24Call upon Me in the day of trouble;
I shall 25rescue you, and you will 26honor Me.” - ¶ But to the wicked God says,
“What right have you to tell of My statutes
And to take 27My covenant in your mouth? - “For you 28hate discipline,
And you 29cast My words behind you. - “When you see a thief, you [f]30are pleased with him,
And [g]you 31associate with adulterers. - “You [h]32let your mouth loose in evil
And your 33tongue frames deceit. - “You sit and 34speak against your brother;
You slander your own mother’s son. - “These things you have done and 35I kept silence;
You thought that I was just like you;
I will 36reprove you and state the case in order before your eyes. - ¶ “Now consider this, you who 37forget God,
Or I will 38tear you in pieces, and there will be none to deliver. - “He who 39offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me;
And to him who [i]40orders his way aright
I shall 41show the salvation of God.”
