- 0:02Speaker 1: Psalm 50 A Psalm by Asaph The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, speaks,
- 0:10Speaker 1: and calls the earth from sunrise to sunset. Out of Zion,
- 0:14Speaker 1: the perfection of beauty, God shines forth. Our God comes
- 0:18Speaker 1: and does not keep silent. A fire devours before Him.
- 0:22Speaker 1: It is very tempestuous around Him. He calls to the
- 0:26Speaker 1: heavens above, to the earth, that He may judge His people.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Gather my saints together to me, those who have made
- 0:32Speaker 1: a covenant with me by sacrifice. The heavens shall declare
- 0:36Speaker 1: his righteousness, for God himself is judge. Hear, my people,
- 0:41Speaker 1: and I will speak. Israel, and I will testify against you.
- 0:45Speaker 1: I am God, your God. I don't rebuke you for
- 0:49Speaker 1: your sacrifices. Your burnt offerings are continually before me. I
- 0:54Speaker 1: have no need for a bull from your stall, nor
- 0:56Speaker 1: male goats from your pens. For every animal of the
- 1:00Speaker 1: forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.
- 1:04Speaker 1: I know all the birds of the mountains, the wild
- 1:07Speaker 1: animals of the field are mine. If I were hungry,
- 1:10Speaker 1: I would not tell you, for the world is mine
- 1:13Speaker 1: and all that is in it. Will I eat the
- 1:16Speaker 1: flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? Offer
- 1:20Speaker 1: to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving, pay your vows to
- 1:23Speaker 1: the Most High. Call on me in the day of trouble,
- 1:26Speaker 1: I will deliver you, and you will honor me. But
- 1:29Speaker 1: to the wicked God says, What right do you have
- 1:32Speaker 1: to declare my statutes, that you have taken my covenant
- 1:36Speaker 1: on your lips, seeing you hate instruction, and throw my
- 1:39Speaker 1: words behind you? When you saw a thief, you consented
- 1:43Speaker 1: with him, and have participated with adulterers. You give your
- 1:47Speaker 1: mouth to evil, you harness your tongue for deceit, you
- 1:51Speaker 1: sit and speak against your brother, you slander your own
- 1:54Speaker 1: mother's son. You have done these things, and I kept silent.
- 1:58Speaker 1: You thought that the I Am was just like you.
- 2:01Speaker 1: I will rebuke you and accuse you in front of
- 2:03Speaker 1: your eyes. Now consider this, you who forget God, lest
- 2:08Speaker 1: I tear you into pieces and there be none to deliver.
- 2:11Speaker 1: Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me and prepares
- 2:16Speaker 1: his way so that I will show God's salvation to him.
