THE Mighty 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, God will shine forth.
3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent; a fire shall devour before Him, and it shall very temptuous all around Him.
4 He shall call to heavens from above, and to the earth, that He may judge His people :
5"Gather My saints togather to Me, those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice. "
6 Let the heavens declare His righteousness, for God Himself is Judge. Selah
7 "Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you; I am God, your God !
8 I will not rebuke you for your sacrifices or your burnt offering, which are continuallly before Me
9 I will not take a bull from your house, nor goats out of thre your idols.
10 For everybeast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thosands hills.
11 I know all the birds of mountains, and the wild beasts of the field are Mine.
12 "If I were hungry, I would not tell you; for the world is Mine, and all its fullness.
13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats ?
14 Offer to God thankgiving, and pay your vows to Most High.
15 Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorified Me. "
16 But to the wicked God says: "What right have you to declare My statutes, or take My covenant in your mouth,
17 Seeing you hate instruction ans cast My words behind you ?
18 When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have been a partaker with adulterers.
19 You give your mouth to evil, and your tongue frames deciet.
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; you thought that I was althogather like you; but I will rebuke you, and set them in order before your eyes.
22 "Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver :
23 Whoever offers praise glorifies Me; and to him who orders his conduct aright I will show the salvation of God. " Psalm 50
