King James VersionPsalms50

Psalms

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.
