Psalm 50

The Acceptable Sacrifice

A Psalm of Asaph.
¹The mighty one, God the Lord,
   speaks and summons the earth
   from the rising of the sun to its setting.
²Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
   God shines forth.

³Our God comes and does not keep silence,
   before him is a devouring fire,
   and a mighty tempest all around him.
⁴He calls to the heavens above
   and to the earth, that he may judge his people:
⁵‘Gather to me my faithful ones,
   who made a covenant with me by sacrifice!’
⁶The heavens declare his righteousness,
   for God himself is judge.
          Selah
