Salmos 50:1-6

1 Salmo 50
Salmo de Asaf.
El Señor
, el Poderoso, es Dios y habló;
convocó a toda la humanidad
desde donde sale el sol hasta donde se pone.

2 Desde el monte Sión, la perfección de la belleza,
Dios brilla con un resplandor glorioso.

3 Nuestro Dios se acerca,
pero no en silencio.
A su paso el fuego devora todo lo que encuentra,
y a su alrededor se desata una gran tormenta.

4 Pone al cielo arriba y a la tierra abajo
como testigos del juicio a su pueblo.

5 «Tráiganme a mi pueblo fiel,
a los que hicieron un pacto conmigo, al ofrecer sacrificios».

6 Luego dejen que los cielos proclamen la justicia divina,
porque Dios mismo será el juez.

Salmos 50:1-6 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 50

\\<>\\. This psalm is called a psalm of Asaph; either because it was composed by him under divine inspiration, since he was a prophet and a seer, 1Ch 25:2, 2Ch 29:30; or because it was delivered to him to be sung in public service, he being a chief musician; see 1Ch 16:7; and so it may be rendered, "a psalm for Asaph"; or "unto Asaph" {o}; which was directed, sent, and delivered to him, and might be written by David; and, as Junius thinks, after the angel had appeared to him, and he was directed where he should build an altar to the Lord, 1Ch 21:18. The Targum, Kimchi, and R. Obadiah Gaon, interpret this psalm of the day of judgment; and Jarchi takes it to be a prophecy of the future redemption by their expected Messiah; and indeed it does refer to the times of the Gospel dispensation; for it treats of the calling of the Gentiles, of the abrogation of legal sacrifices, and of the controversy the Lord would have with the Jews for retaining them, and rejecting pure, spiritual, and evangelical worship. {o} Poal "ipsi Asaph", Tigurine version, Vatablus; "Asapho", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator; so Ainsworth.
