KJV Psalms Chapter 50
A Psalm of Asaph. 1 The mighty God, |even| the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. 2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined. 3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him. 4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people. 5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. 6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God |is| judge himself. Selah. 7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I |am| God, |even| thy God. 8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, |to have been| continually before me. 9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, |nor| he goats out of thy folds. 10 For every beast of the forest |is| mine, |and| the cattle upon a thousand hills. 11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field |are| mine. 12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world |is| mine, and the fulness thereof. 13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? 14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: 15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. 16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or |that| thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? 17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee. 18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers. 19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. 20 Thou sittest |and| speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son. 21 These |things| hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether |such an one| as thyself: |but| I will reprove thee, and set |them| in order before thine eyes. 22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear |you| in pieces, and |there be| none to deliver. 23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth |his| conversation |aright| will I shew the salvation of God.
