Psalm 50

The Message Bible MSG

1 The God of gods - it's God! - speaks out, shouts, "Earth!" welcomes the sun in the east, farewells the disappearing sun in the west.

2 From the dazzle of Zion, God blazes into view.

3 Our God makes his entrance, he's not shy in his coming. Starbursts of fireworks precede him.

4 He summons heaven and earth as a jury, he's taking his people to court:

5 "Round up my saints who swore on the Bible their loyalty to me."

6 The whole cosmos attests to the fairness of this court, that here God is judge.

7 "Are you listening, dear people? I'm getting ready to speak; Israel, I'm about ready to bring you to trial. This is God, your God, speaking to you.

8 I don't find fault with your acts of worship, the frequent burnt sacrifices you offer.

9 But why should I want your blue-ribbon bull, or more and more goats from your herds?

10 Every creature in the forest is mine, the wild animals on all the mountains.

11 I know every mountain bird by name; the scampering field mice are my friends.

12 If I get hungry, do you think I'd tell you? All creation and its bounty are mine.

13 Do you think I feast on venison? or drink draughts of goats' blood?

14 Spread for me a banquet of praise, serve High God a feast of kept promises,

15 And call for help when you're in trouble - I'll help you, and you'll honor me."

16 Next, God calls up the wicked: "What are you up to, quoting my laws, talking like we are good friends?

17 You never answer the door when I call; you treat my words like garbage.

18 If you find a thief, you make him your buddy; adulterers are your friends of choice.

19 Your mouth drools filth; lying is a serious art form with you.

20 You stab your own brother in the back, rip off your little sister.

21 I kept a quiet patience while you did these things; you thought I went along with your game. I'm calling you on the carpet, now, laying your wickedness out in plain sight.

22 "Time's up for playing fast and loose with me. I'm ready to pass sentence, and there's no help in sight!

23 It's the praising life that honors me. As soon as you set your foot on the Way, I'll show you my salvation."

1 <<A Psalm by Asaph.>> The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, speaks, And calls the earth from sunrise to sunset.

2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.

3 Our God comes, and does not keep silent. A fire devours before him. It is very tempestuous around him.

4 He calls to the heavens above, To the earth, that he may judge his people:

5 "Gather my saints together to me, Those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice."

6 The heavens shall declare his righteousness, For God himself is judge. Selah.

7 "Hear, my people, and I will speak; Israel, and I will testify against you. I am God, your God.

8 I don't rebuke you for your sacrifices. Your burnt offerings are continually before me.

9 I have no need for a bull from your stall, Nor male goats from your pens.

10 For every animal of the forest is mine, And the cattle on a thousand hills.

11 I know all the birds of the mountains. The wild animals of the field are mine.

12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you, For the world is mine, and all that is in it.

13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats?

14 Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the Most High.

15 Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me."

16 But to the wicked God says, "What right do you have to declare my statutes, That you have taken my covenant on your lips,

17 Seeing you hate instruction, And throw my words behind you?

18 When you saw a thief, you consented with him, And have participated with adulterers.

19 "You give your mouth to evil. You harnesses your tongue for deceit.

20 You sit and speak against your brother. You slander your own mother's son.

21 You have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that the "I AM" was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.

22 "Now consider this, you who forget God, Lest I tear you into pieces, and there be none to deliver.

23 Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me, And prepares his way so that I will show God's salvation to him."
