God Himself Is Judge
A Psalm of 50:0 1 Chr. 6:39; 15:17; 16:5, 7; 25:2; 2 Chr. 29:30Asaph.

150:1 Josh. 22:22The Mighty One, God the Lord,
speaks and summons the earth
50:1 Ps. 113:3from the rising of the sun to its setting.
2Out of Zion, 50:2 [Lam. 2:15]; See Ps. 48:2the perfection of beauty,
50:2 Ps. 80:1; 94:1; Deut. 33:2God shines forth.

3Our God comes; he 50:3 [Ex. 19:16] does not keep silence;50:3 Or May our God come, and not keep silence
before him is a devouring 50:3 Ps. 21:9; 97:3; Lev. 10:2; Num. 16:35; Dan. 7:10fire,
around him a mighty tempest.
450:4 Deut. 4:26; 31:28; 32:1; Isa. 1:2; Mic. 6:1, 2He calls to the heavens above
and to the earth, that he may judge his people:
5“Gather to me my faithful ones,
who made 50:5 Ex. 24:7, 8; See Gen. 15:9-18a covenant with me by sacrifice!”
650:6 Ps. 89:5; 97:6; [Rev. 16:5, 7; 19:2] The heavens declare his righteousness,
for 50:6 Ps. 58:11; 75:7God himself is judge! Selah

750:7 Ps. 81:8; [Ps. 49:1] “Hear, O my people, and I will speak;
O Israel, I will testify against you.
50:7 Ex. 20:2I am God, your God.
8Not for your sacrifices 50:8 See Ps. 40:6do I rebuke you;
your burnt offerings are continually before me.
9I will not accept a bull from your house
or goats from your folds.
10For every beast of the forest is mine,
the cattle on a thousand hills.
1150:11 [Matt. 10:29]I know all the birds of the hills,
and all that moves in the field is mine.

12“If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
50:12 See Ps. 24:1for the world and its fullness are mine.
13Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?
1450:14 ver. 23; Ps. 27:6; 69:30; 107:22; Heb. 13:15; [Hos. 14:2; Rom. 12:1] Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving,50:14 Or Make thanksgiving your sacrifice to God
and 50:14 Ps. 22:25; 61:8; 65:1; 76:11; 116:14, 18; Num. 30:2; Deut. 23:21; Job 22:27; Eccles. 5:4, 5perform your vows to the Most High,
15and 50:15 Ps. 81:7; Zech. 13:9; [Ps. 107:6] call upon me in the day of trouble;
I will 50:15 Ps. 91:15deliver you, and you shall 50:15 ver. 23; Ps. 22:23glorify me.”

16But to the wicked God says:
“What right have you to recite my statutes
or take my covenant on your lips?
1750:17 [Rom. 2:21, 22] For you hate discipline,
50:17 1 Kgs. 14:9; Neh. 9:26and you cast my words behind you.
18If you see a thief, 50:18 Rom. 1:32you are pleased with him,
50:18 [1 Tim. 5:22]and you keep company with adulterers.

19“You give your mouth free rein for evil,
50:19 [Ps. 52:2]and your tongue frames deceit.
20You sit and speak against your brother;
you slander your own mother’s son.
21These things you have done, and I 50:21 Eccles. 8:11; Isa. 57:11have been silent;
you thought that I50:21 Or that the I am was one like yourself.
But now I 50:21 Ps. 90:8; 2 Kgs. 19:4rebuke you and 50:21 Job 13:18; 23:4lay the charge before you.

22“Mark this, then, you who 50:22 See Ps. 9:17forget God,
lest I tear you apart, and there be 50:22 Ps. 7:2none to deliver!
23The one who 50:23 ver. 14, 15offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me;
to one who 50:23 [Gal. 6:16] orders his way rightly
I will show the 50:23 Ps. 91:16salvation of God!”
