Psalm 50

1The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, has spoken 2Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, 3Our God comes and does not stay silent; 4He calls to the heavens above 5“Gather my faithful ones together to me, 6The heavens will declare his righteousness, Selah 7“Hear, my people, and I will speak; 8I will not reprove you for your sacrifices; 9I will take no bull out of your house, 10For every beast of the forest is mine, 11I know all the birds of the mountains, 12If I were hungry, I would not tell you; 13Will I eat the flesh of bulls 14Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving, 15Call on me in the day of trouble; 16But to the wicked God says, 17since you hate instruction 18When you see a thief, you agree with him; 19You give your mouth to evil, 20You sit and speak against your brother; 21You have done these things, but I have kept silent, 22Give this careful consideration, you who forget God,
