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
1A Psalme of Asaph. The God of Gods, euen the Lord hath spoken and called the earth from the rising vp of the sunne vnto the going downe thereof. 2Out of Zion, which is the perfection of beautie, hath God shined. 3Our God shall come and shall not keepe silence: a fire shall deuoure before him, and a mightie tempest shall be mooued round about him. 4Hee shall call the heauen aboue, and the earth to iudge his people. 5Gather my Saints together vnto me, those that make a couenant with me with sacrifice. 6And the heauens shall declare his righteousnes: for God is iudge himselfe. Selah. 7Heare, O my people, and I wil speake: heare, O Israel, and I wil testifie vnto thee: for I am God, euen thy God. 8I wil not reproue thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt offerings, that haue not bene continually before me. 9I will take no bullocke out of thine house, nor goates out of thy foldes. 10For all the beastes of the forest are mine, and the beastes on a thousand mountaines. 11I knowe all the foules on the mountaines: and the wilde beastes of the fielde are mine. 12If I bee hungry, I will not tell thee: for the world is mine, and all that therein is. 13Will I eate the flesh of bulles? or drinke the blood of goates? 14Offer vnto God praise, and pay thy vowes vnto the most High, 15And call vpon me in the day of trouble: so will I deliuer thee, and thou shalt glorifie me. 16But vnto the wicked said God, What hast thou to doe to declare mine ordinances, that thou shouldest take my couenant in thy mouth, 17Seeing thou hatest to bee reformed, and hast cast my wordes behinde thee? 18For when thou seest a thiefe, thou runnest with him, and thou art partaker with the adulterers. 19Thou giuest thy mouth to euill, and with thy tongue thou forgest deceit. 20Thou sittest, and speakest against thy brother, and slanderest thy mothers sonne. 21These things hast thou done, and I held my tongue: therefore thou thoughtest that I was like thee: but I will reproue thee, and set them in order before thee. 22Oh cosider this, ye that forget God, least I teare you in pieces, and there be none that can deliuer you. 23He that offereth praise, shall glorifie mee: and to him, that disposeth his way aright, will I shew the saluation of God.
