Salmos 50

God the Righteous Judge

A Psalm of Asaph.

1 The *Is. 9:6Mighty One, God the Lord,

Has spoken and called the earth

From the rising of the sun to its going down.

2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,

*Deut. 33:2; Ps. 80:1God will shine forth.

3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent;

*Lev. 10:2; Num. 16:35; (Ps. 97:3)A fire shall devour before Him,

And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him.

4 *Deut. 4:26; 31:28; 32:1; Is. 1:2He shall call to the heavens from above,

And to the earth, that He may judge His people:

5 "Gather *Deut. 33:3My saints together to Me,

*Ex. 24:7Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice."

6 Let the *(Ps. 97:6)heavens declare His righteousness,

For *Ps. 75:7God Himself is Judge.

Selah

7 "Hear, O My people, and I will speak,

O Israel, and I will testify against you;

*Ex. 20:2I am God, your God!

8 *Jer. 7:22I will not rebuke you *Is. 1:11; (Hos. 6:6)for your sacrifices

Or your burnt offerings,

Whichare continually before Me.

9 *Ps. 69:31I will not take a bull from your house,

Nor goats out of your folds.

10 For every beast of the forest is Mine,

And the cattle on a thousand hills.

11 I know all the birds of the mountains,

And the wild beasts of the field are Mine.

12 "If I were hungry, I would not tell you;

*Ex. 19:5; (Deut. 10:14; Job 41:11); 1 Cor. 10:26For the world is Mine, and all its fullness.

13 *(Ps. 51:15–17)Will I eat the flesh of bulls,

Or drink the blood of goats?

14 *Hos. 14:2; Heb. 13:15Offer to God thanksgiving,

And *Num. 30:2; Deut. 23:21pay your vows to the Most High.

15 *Job 22:27; (Zech. 13:9)Call upon Me in the day of trouble;

I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me."

16 But to the wicked God says:

"What right have you to declare My statutes,

Or take My covenant in your mouth,

17 *Neh. 9:26; Rom. 2:21Seeing you hate instruction

And cast My words behind you?

18 When you saw a thief, you *(Rom. 1:32)consented with him,

And have been a *1 Tim. 5:22partaker with adulterers.

19 You give your mouth to evil,

And *Ps. 52:2your tongue frames deceit.

20 You sit and speak against your brother;

You slander your own mother’s son.

21 These things you have done, and I kept silent;

*(Rom. 2:4)You thought that I was altogether like you;

But I will rebuke you,

And *(Ps. 90:8)set them in order before your eyes.

22 "Now consider this, you who *(Job 8:13)forget God,

Lest I tear you in pieces,

And therebe none to deliver:

23 Whoever offers praise glorifies Me;

And *Gal. 6:16to him who orders his conduct aright

I will show the salvation of God."
