Salmos 50:6-16

6 Y denunciarán los cielos su justicia; Porque Dios es el juez. (Selah.)

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

8 No te reprenderé sobre tus sacrificios, Ni por tus holocaustos, que 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 bosque, Y los millares de animales en los collados.

11 Conozco todas las aves de los montes, Y en mi poder están las fieras del campo.

12 Si yo tuviese hambre, no te lo diría á ti: Porque mío es el mundo y su plenitud.

13 ¿Tengo de comer yo carne de toros, O de beber sangre de machos cabríos?

14 Sacrifica á Dios alabanza, Y paga tus votos al Altísimo.

15 E invócame en el día de la angustia: Te libraré, y tú me honrarás.

16 Pero al malo dijo Dios: ¿Qué tienes tú que enarrar mis leyes, Y que tomar mi pacto en tu boca,

Salmos 50:6-16 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.
