King James Version of the Bible

Book of Psalms

Chapter 50



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