Salmos 50:5-15

5 y dice: Juntadme a mis santos, los que han hecho conmigo pacto con sacrificio.

6 Y los cielos declaran su justicia, porque Dios mismo es el juez. (Selah)

7 Oye, pueblo mío, y hablaré; Israel, yo testificaré contra ti. Yo soy Dios, tu Dios.

8 No te reprendo por tus sacrificios, ni por tus holocaustos, que están continuamente delante de mí.

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

10 Porque mío es todo animal del bosque, y el ganado sobre mil colinas.

11 Toda ave de los montes conozco, y mío es todo lo que en el campo se mueve.

12 Si yo tuviera hambre, no te lo diría a ti; porque mío es el mundo y todo lo que en él hay.

13 ¿Acaso he de comer carne de toros, o beber sangre de machos cabríos?

14 Ofrece a Dios sacrificio de acción de gracias, y cumple tus votos al Altísimo;

15 e invócame en el día de la angustia; yo te libraré, y tú me honrarás.

Salmos 50:5-15 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.
