Psalm 50

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

18When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father in law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and that the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt;
²Then Jethro, Moses’ father in law, took Zipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her back,
³And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land:
⁴And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, said he, was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh:
⁵And Jethro, Moses’ father in law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God:
⁶And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.
⁷And Moses went out to meet his father in law, and did obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare; and they came into the tent.
⁸And Moses told his father in law all that the Lord had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, and all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how the Lord delivered them.
⁹And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the Lord had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.
¹⁰And Jethro said, Blessed be the Lord, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
¹¹Now I know that the Lord is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.
¹²And Jethro, Moses’ father in law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses’ father in law before God.

¹³For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
¹⁴Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
¹⁵And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
¹⁶For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
¹⁷Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
¹⁸That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
¹⁹Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
²⁰Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
