Salmos 50:1-11

1 El Dios de dioses, el SEÑOR, ha hablado, y convocado la tierra desde el nacimiento del sol hasta donde se pone

2 De Sion, perfección de hermosura, Dios ha resplandecido

3 Vendrá nuestro Dios, y no callará; fuego consumirá delante de su presencia, y en derredor suyo habrá tempestad grande

4 Convocará a los cielos de arriba, y a la tierra, para juzgar a su pueblo

5 Juntadme mis misericordiosos; los que pactaron mi pacto sobre sacrificio

6 Y denunciarán los cielos su justicia; porque Dios mismo es el juez. (Selah.

7 Oye, pueblo mío, y hablaré; escucha, Israel, y testificaré contra ti: Yo soy el Dios, el Dios tuyo

8 No te reprenderé sobre tus sacrificios, que tus holocaustos delante de mí están siempre

9 No tomaré de tu casa becerros, ni machos cabríos de tus apriscos

10 Porque mía es toda bestia del monte; millares de animales en los montes

11 Conozco todas las aves de los montes, y las fieras del campo están conmigo

Salmos 50:1-11 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.
