Psalms 50:1-7

Psalm 50

A psalm by Asaph.

50:1 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!
