Context
Psalm 50
50:1 A psalm by Asaph. El, God, the Lord speaks, and summons the earth to come from the east and west. 50:2 From Zion, the most beautiful of all places, God comes in splendor. 50:3 Our God approaches and is not silent; consuming fire goes ahead of him and all around him a storm rages. 50:4 He summons the heavens above, as well as the earth, so that he might judge his people. 50:5 He says: “Assemble my covenant people before me, those who ratified a covenant with me by sacrifice!” 50:6 The heavens declare his fairness, for God is judge. (Selah) 50:7 He says: “Listen my people! I am speaking! Listen Israel! I am accusing you! I am God, your God! 50:8 I am not condemning you because of your sacrifices, or because of your burnt sacrifices that you continually offer me. 50:9 I do not need to take a bull from your household or goats from your sheepfolds. 50:10 For every wild animal in the forest belongs to me, as well as the cattle that graze on a thousand hills. 50:11 I keep track of every bird in the hills, and the insects of the field are mine. 50:12 Even if I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world and all it contains belong to me. 50:13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls? Do I drink the blood of goats? 50:14 Present to God a thank-offering! Repay your vows to the sovereign One!
