Psalm 50
The Lord our God, the Mighty One, has spoken
: and summoned the earth, from the rising of the sun
to its setting in the west.
From Zion, perfect in beauty
: God has shone out in glory.
Our God is coming, he will not keep silent
: before him is devouring fire, and tempest whirls about him.
He calls to the heavens above
: and to the earth, so he may judge his people.
‘Gather to me my faithful ones
: those who by sacrifice made a covenant with me.’
The heavens shall proclaim his righteousness
: for God himself is judge.
‘Listen my people, and I will speak
: O Israel, I am God your God, and I will give my testimony.
‘It is not for your sacrifices that I reprove you
: for your burnt-offerings are always before me.
‘But I will convict you
: and set before your eyes what you have done.
‘O consider this, you who forget God
: lest I tear you in pieces, and there be no one to save you.
