PSALM 50
First Version
Meter: 6,6,8,6
A Psalm of Asaph.
1The mighty God, the Lord,
hath spoken, and did call
The earth, from rising of the sun,
to where he hath his fall.
2From out of Sion hill,
which of excellency
And beauty the perfection is,
God shined gloriously.
3Our God shall surely come,
keep silence shall not he:
Before him fire shall waste, great storms
shall round about him be.
4Unto the heavens clear
he from above shall call,
And to the earth likewise, that he
may judge his people all.
5Together let my saints
unto me gather'd be,
Those that by sacrifice have made
a covenant with me.
6And then the heavens shall
his righteousness declare:
Because the Lord himself is he
by whom men judged are.
7My people Isr'el hear,
speak will I from on high,
Against thee I will testify;
God, ev'n thy God, am I.
8I for thy sacrifice
no blame will on thee lay,
Nor for burnt-off 'rings, which to me
thou offer'dst ev'ry day.
9I'll take no calf nor goats
from house or fold of thine:
10For beasts of forests, cattle all
on thousand hills, are mine.
11The fowls on mountains high
are all to me well known;
Wild beasts which in the fields do lie,
ev'n they are all mine own.
12Then, if I hungry were,
I would not tell it thee;
Because the world, and fulness all
thereof, belongs to me.
13Will I eat flesh of bulls?
or goats' blood drink will I?
14Thanks offer thou to God, and pay
thy vows to the most High.
15And call upon me when
in trouble thou shalt be;
I will deliver thee, and thou
my name shalt glorify.
16But to the wicked man
God saith, My laws and truth
Should'st thou declare? how dar'st thou take
my cov'nant in thy mouth?
17Sith thou instruction hat'st,
which should thy ways direct;
And sith my words behind thy back
thou cast'st, and dost reject.
18When thou a thief didst see,
with him thou didst consent;
And with the vile adulterers
partaker on thou went.
19Thou giv'st thy mouth to ill,
thy tongue deceit doth frame;
20Thou sitt'st, and 'gainst thy brother speak'st,
thy mother's son dost shame.
21Because I silence kept,
while thou these things hast wrought;
That I was altogether like
thyself, hath been thy thought;
Yet I will thee reprove,
and set before thine eyes,
In order ranked, thy misdeeds
and thine iniquities.
22Now, ye that God forget,
this carefully consider;
Lest I in pieces tear you all,
and none can you deliver.
23Whoso doth offer praise
me glorifies; and I
Will shew him God's salvation,
that orders right his way.

Psalms 50
50
A Sacrifice of Thanks
1A psalm of Asaph. God, Elohim Adonai has spoken and summoned the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
2Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.
3Our God comes, and does not keep silent. A fire is devouring before Him, and it storms around Him mightily.
4He calls to the heavens above and to the earth, to judge His people:
5“Gather My kedoshim to Me, who cut a covenant with Me with a sacrifice.”
6The heavens declare His righteousness, for God Himself is Judge. Selah
7“Hear, My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God.
8I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices, for your burnt offerings are continually before Me.
9I have no need of a bull from your house nor goats from your pens.
10For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.
11I know every bird of the mountains. Everything moving in the field is Mine.
12If I were hungry, I would not tell you— for the world is Mine and all it contains!
13Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?
14Offer God a sacrifice of thank offerings, then fulfill your vows to Elyon.
15Call upon Me in the day of trouble. When I rescue you, you will honor Me.”
16But to the wicked, God says: “What are you doing, reciting My laws and taking My covenant in your mouth?
17For you hate discipline, and you cast My words behind you.
18When you see a thief, you are pleased with him, and your portion is with adulterers.
19You have unleashed your mouth for evil and harnessed your tongue for deceit.
20You sit, speaking against your brother, slandering your own mother’s son.
21These things you have done— Should I keep silent? You thought I was just like you— but I reprove you, and set the case before your eyes.
22Now consider this, you who forget God. Or else I will tear you in pieces with no one to rescue you.
23A sacrifice of praise honors Me, and to the one who orders his way, I will show the salvation of God.”
