- 0:02Speaker 1: Psalm fifty, a psalm by Aesath. The mighty one God Yahweh,
- 0:09Speaker 1: speaks and calls the earth from sunrise to sunset out
- 0:13Speaker 1: of zion, the perfection of beauty. God shines forth. Our
- 0:17Speaker 1: God comes and does not keep silent. A fire devours
- 0:21Speaker 1: before him. It is very tempestuous around him. He calls
- 0:25Speaker 1: to the heavens above to the earth, that he may
- 0:28Speaker 1: judge his people. Gather my saints together to me, those
- 0:32Speaker 1: who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. The
- 0:35Speaker 1: heavens shall declare his righteousness. For God himself is judge
- 0:40Speaker 1: here my people, and I will speak Israel, and I
- 0:43Speaker 1: will testify against you. I am God, your God. I
- 0:48Speaker 1: don't rebuke you for your sacrifices. Your burnt offerings are
- 0:51Speaker 1: continually before me. I have no need for a bull
- 0:55Speaker 1: from your stall, nor male goats from your pens. For
- 0:59Speaker 1: every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle
- 1:02Speaker 1: on a thousand hills. I know. All the birds of
- 1:05Speaker 1: the mountains, the wild animals of the field are mine.
- 1:09Speaker 1: If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for
- 1:12Speaker 1: the world is mine and all that is in it.
- 1:15Speaker 1: Will I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the
- 1:17Speaker 1: blood of goats, offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Pay your vows to the most High. Call on me
- 1:25Speaker 1: in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and
- 1:28Speaker 1: you will honor me. But to the wicked God says,
- 1:31Speaker 1: what right do you have to declare my statutes that
- 1:34Speaker 1: you have taken my covenant on your lips, Seeing you
- 1:37Speaker 1: hate instruction and throw my words behind you. When you
- 1:41Speaker 1: saw a thief, you consented with him and have participated
- 1:45Speaker 1: with adulterers. You give your mouth to evil. You harness
- 1:49Speaker 1: your tongue for deceit. You sit and speak against your brother,
- 1:53Speaker 1: You slander your own mother's son. You have done these things,
- 1:57Speaker 1: and I kept silent. You thought that the I Am
- 2:00Speaker 1: was just like you. I will rebuke you and accuse
- 2:03Speaker 1: you in front of your eyes. Now consider this, you
- 2:06Speaker 1: who forget God, lest I tear you into pieces and
- 2:09Speaker 1: there be none to deliver. Whoever offers the sacrifice of
- 2:13Speaker 1: thanksgiving glorifies me and prepares his way so that I
- 2:17Speaker 1: will show God's salvation to him.
