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.

Tehillim (Psalms) 50
50
1Ěl Elohim יהוה shall speak, And He shall call the earth From the rising of the sun to its going down.
2From Tsiyon, the perfection of loveliness, Elohim shall shine forth.
3Our Elohim comes, and is not silent – A fire consumes before Him, And it shall be very stormy all around Him.
4He calls to the heavens from above, And to the earth, to rightly rule His people:
5Gather My lovingly-committed ones together to Me, Those who have made a covenant with Me by slaughtering.
6Then the heavens declared His righteousness, For Elohim Himself is Judge. Selah.
7“Hear, O My people, and I speak, O Yisra’ĕl, and I witness against you: I am Elohim, your Elohim!
8I do not reprove you for your slaughterings, And your ascending offerings are continually before Me.”
9“I do not take a bull from your house, Nor goats out of your pens.
10For every beast of the forest is Mine, The cattle on a thousand hills.”
11“I know all the birds of the mountains, And all moving in My field are Mine.
12If I were hungry, I would not speak to you; For the world is Mine, and all that fills it.”
13“Do I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats?
14Slaughter thanksgiving to Elohim, And pay your vows to the Most High.”
15And call upon Me in the day of distress – Let Me rescue you, and you esteem Me.
16But to the wrong Elohim said, “What right have you to recite My laws, Or take My covenant in your mouth,
17“While you hated instruction And cast My Words behind you?
18When you saw a thief, you were pleased with him, And you take part with adulterers.”
19“You let your mouth loose to evil, And your tongue frames deceit.
20You sit, speak against your brother; You slander your own mother’s son.”
21“You have done this, and I kept silent; You have thought that I was altogether like you – I rebuke you, and set it in order before your eyes.
22Understand this please, you who forget Eloah, Lest I tear you in pieces, With no one to deliver:"
23Whoever slaughters praise esteems Me; And to him who prepares a way, I show the deliverance of Elohim.
