Psalms 50

New Century Version NCV

1 The God of gods, the Lord, speaks. He calls the earth from the rising to the setting sun.

2 God shines from Jerusalem, whose beauty is perfect.

3 Our God comes, and he will not be silent. A fire burns in front of him, and a powerful storm surrounds him.

4 He calls to the sky above and to the earth that he might judge his people.

5 He says, "Gather around, you who worship me, who have made an agreement with me, using a sacrifice."

6 God is the judge, and even the skies say he is right. Selah

7 God says, "My people, listen to me; Israel, I will testify against you. I am God, your God.

8 I do not scold you for your sacrifices. You always bring me your burnt offerings.

9 But I do not need bulls from your stalls or goats from your pens,

10 because every animal of the forest is already mine. The cattle on a thousand hills are mine.

11 I know every bird on the mountains, and every living thing in the fields is mine.

12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you, because the earth and everything in it are mine.

13 I don't eat the meat of bulls or drink the blood of goats.

14 Give an offering to show thanks to God. Give God Most High what you have promised.

15 Call to me in times of trouble. I will save you, and you will honor me."

16 But God says to the wicked, "Why do you talk about my laws? Why do you mention my agreement?

17 You hate my teachings and turn your back on what I say.

18 When you see a thief, you join him. You take part in adultery.

19 You don't stop your mouth from speaking evil, and your tongue makes up lies.

20 You speak against your brother and lie about your mother's son.

21 I have kept quiet while you did these things, so you thought I was just like you. But I will scold you and accuse you to your face.

22 "Think about this, you who forget God. Otherwise, I will tear you apart, and no one will save you.

23 Those people honor me who bring me offerings to show thanks. And I, God, will save those who do that."

New International Version NIV

1 The Mighty One, God, the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to where it sets.

2 From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth.

3 Our God comes and will not be silent; a fire devours before him, and around him a tempest rages.

4 He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that he may judge his people:

5 “Gather to me this consecrated people, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”

6 And the heavens proclaim his righteousness, for he is a God of justice.

7 “Listen, my people, and I will speak; I will testify against you, Israel: I am God, your God.

8 I bring no charges against you concerning your sacrifices or concerning your burnt offerings, which are ever before me.

9 I have no need of a bull from your stall or of goats from your pens,

10 for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.

11 I know every bird in the mountains, and the insects in the fields are mine.

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

13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?

14 “Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High,

15 and call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”

16 But to the wicked person, God says: “What right have you to recite my laws or take my covenant on your lips?

17 You hate my instruction and cast my words behind you.

18 When you see a thief, you join with him; you throw in your lot with adulterers.

19 You use your mouth for evil and harness your tongue to deceit.

20 You sit and testify against your brother and slander your own mother’s son.

21 When you did these things and I kept silent, you thought I was exactly like you. But I now arraign you and set my accusations before you.

22 “Consider this, you who forget God, or I will tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you:

23 Those who sacrifice thank offerings honor me, and to the blameless I will show my salvation.”
