{Psa 50, 73-82 **}

    50:1 The Mighty One, God, Jehovah, has spoken and called the earth from the rising of the sun to the going down of it. 50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shone forth.

    50:3 Our God comes and does not keep silence. A fire devours before him and it whirlwinds much all around him. 50:4 He calls to the heavens above and to the earth, that he may judge his people.

    50:5 Gather my holy ones together to me, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. 50:6And the heavens will declare his righteousness, because God is judge himself. Selah.

    50:7 Hear, O my people and I will speak, O Israel and I will testify to you, I am God, even your God.50:8 I will not reprove you for your sacrifices and your burnt-offerings being continually before me. 50:9I will take no bull out of your house, nor male-goats out of your folds.

    50:10 Because every beast of the forest is mine and the cattle upon a thousand hills. 50:11 I know all the birds of the mountains and the wild beasts of the field are mine.

    50:12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you, because the world is mine and the fullness of it. 50:13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

    50:14 Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving and pay your vows to the Most High. 50:15 And call upon me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you and you will glorify me.

    50:16 But to the wicked man God says, What have you to do to declare my statutes and that you have taken my covenant in your mouth, 50:17 since you hate instruction and cast my words behind you?

    50:18 When you saw a thief, you consented with him and have been partaker with adulterers. 50:19 You give your mouth to evil and your tongue frames deceit. 50:20 You sit and speak against your brother; you slander your own mother's son.

    50:21 These things you have done and I kept silence. You thought that I was altogether such a one as yourself. But I will reprove you and arrange them before your eyes.

    50:22 Now consider this, you* who forget God, lest I tear you* in pieces and there is none to deliver:50:23 Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me. And to him who orders his way aright I will show the salvation of God.
