Psalm 50

New Living Translation NLT

1 The LORD, the Mighty One, is God, and he has spoken; he has summoned all humanity from where the sun rises to where it sets.

2 From Mount Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines in glorious radiance.

3 Our God approaches, and he is not silent. Fire devours everything in his way, and a great storm rages around him.

4 He calls on the heavens above and earth below to witness the judgment of his people.

5 “Bring my faithful people to me— those who made a covenant with me by giving sacrifices.”

6 Then let the heavens proclaim his justice, for God himself will be the judge. Interlude

7 “O my people, listen as I speak. Here are my charges against you, O Israel: I am God, your God!

8 I have no complaint about your sacrifices or the burnt offerings you constantly offer.

9 But I do not need the bulls from your barns or the goats from your pens.

10 For all the animals of the forest are mine, and I own the cattle on a thousand hills.

11 I know every bird on the mountains, and all the animals of the field are mine.

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

13 Do I eat the meat of bulls? Do I drink the blood of goats?

14 Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God, and keep the vows you made to the Most High.

15 Then call on me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory.”

16 But God says to the wicked: “Why bother reciting my decrees and pretending to obey my covenant?

17 For you refuse my discipline and treat my words like trash.

18 When you see thieves, you approve of them, and you spend your time with adulterers.

19 Your mouth is filled with wickedness, and your tongue is full of lies.

20 You sit around and slander your brother— your own mother’s son.

21 While you did all this, I remained silent, and you thought I didn’t care. But now I will rebuke you, listing all my charges against you.

22 Repent, all of you who forget me, or I will tear you apart, and no one will help you.

23 But giving thanks is a sacrifice that truly honors me. If you keep to my path, I will reveal to you the salvation of God.”

Common English Bible CEB

1 From the rising of the sun to where it sets, God, the LORD God, speaks, calling out to the earth.

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

3 Our God is coming; he won't keep quiet. A devouring fire is before him; a storm rages all around him.

4 God calls out to the skies above and to the earth in order to judge his people:

5 "Bring my faithful to me, those who made a covenant with me by sacrifice."

6 The skies proclaim his righteousness because God himself is the judge. Selah

7 "Listen, my people, I will now speak; Israel, I will now testify against you. I am God—your God!

8 I'm not punishing you for your sacrifices or for your entirely burned offerings, which are always before me.

9 I won't accept bulls from your house or goats from your corrals

10 because every forest animal already belongs to me, as do the cattle on a thousand hills.

11 I know every mountain bird; even the insects in the fields are mine.

12 Even if I were hungry, I wouldn't tell you because the whole world and everything in it already belong to me.

13 Do I eat bulls' meat? Do I drink goats' blood?

14 Offer God a sacrifice of thanksgiving! Fulfill the promisesyou made to the Most High!

15 Cry out to me whenever you are in trouble; I will deliver you, then you will honor me."

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

17 You hate discipline, and you toss my words behind your back.

18 You make friends with thieves whenever you see one; you spend your time with adulterers.

19 You set your mouth free to do evil, then harness your tongue to tell lies.

20 You sit around, talking about your own siblings; you find fault with the children of your very own mother.

21 You've done these things and I've kept quiet. You thought I was just like you! But now I'm punishing you; I'm laying it all out, right in front of your face.

22 So consider this carefully, all you who forget God, or I'll rip you to pieces with no one to deliver you:

23 The one who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving is the one who honors me. And it is to the one who charts the correct path that I will show divine salvation."
