Chapter 50

1


 

  The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, speaks, And calls the earth from sunrise to sunset.  

 

 

--

2


 

  Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.  

 

 

--

3


 

  Our God comes, and does not keep silence. A fire devours before him. It is very tempestuous around him.  

 

 

--

4


 

  He calls to the heavens above, To the earth, that he may judge his people:  

 

 

--

5


 

  'Gather my saints together to me, Those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.'  

 

 

--

6


 

  The heavens shall declare his righteousness, For God himself is judge. Selah.  

 

 

--

7


 

  'Hear, my people, and I will speak; Israel, and I will testify against you. I am God, your God.  

 

 

--

8


 

  I don't rebuke you for your sacrifices. Your burnt offerings are continually before me.  

 

 

--

9


 

  I have no need for a bull from your stall, Nor male goats from your pens.  

 

 

--

10


 

  For every animal of the forest is mine, And the cattle on a thousand hills.  

 

 

--

11


 

  I know all the birds of the mountains. The wild animals of the field are mine.  

 

 

--

12


 

  If I were hungry, I would not tell you, For the world is mine, and all that is in it.  

 

 

--

13


 

  Will I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats?  

 

 

--

14


 

  Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the Most High.  

 

 

--

15


 

  Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me.'  

 

 

--

16


 

  But to the wicked God says, 'What right do you have to declare my statutes, That you have taken my covenant on your lips,  

 

 

--

17


 

  Seeing you hate instruction, And throw my words behind you?  

 

 

--

18


 

  When you saw a thief, you consented with him, And have participated with adulterers.  

 

 

--

19


 

  'You give your mouth to evil. Your tongue harnesses deceit.  

 

 

--

20


 

  You sit and speak against your brother. You slander your own mother's son.  

 

 

--

21


 

  You have done these things, and I kept silence. You thought that the 'I AM' was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.  

 

 

--

22


 

  'Now consider this, you who forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.  

 

 

--

23


 

  Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me, And prepares his way so that I will show God's salvation to him.' Psalm 51 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.
