Bible, King James Version
Psalms
Pss.50
[1] The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called
the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down
thereof.
[2] Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath
shined.
[3] Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire
shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round
about him.
[4] He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the
earth, that he may judge his people.
[5] Gather my saints together unto me; those that have
made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
[6] And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for
God is judge himself. Selah.
[7] Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I
will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.
[8] I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy
burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.
[9] I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats
out of thy folds.
[10] For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle
upon a thousand hills.
[11] I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild
beasts of the field are mine.
[12] If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the
world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
[13] Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of
goats?
[14] Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto
the most High:
[15] And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will
deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
[16] But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do
to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant
in thy mouth?
[17] Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words
behind thee.
[18] When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with
him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
[19] Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth
deceit.
[20] Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou
slanderest thine own mother's son.
[21] These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou
thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I
will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
[22] Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear
you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
[23] Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that
ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of
God.
