Psalms 50:1-17

[1] [[A Psalm  of Asaph.]]  The mighty  God,  even the LORD,  hath spoken,  and called  the earth  from the rising  of the sun  unto the going down  [2] Out of Zion,  the perfection  of beauty,  God  hath shined.  [3] Our God  shall come,  and shall not keep silence:  a fire  shall devour  before  him, and it shall be very  tempestuous  round about  [4] He shall call  to the heavens  from above,  and to the earth,  that he may judge  his people.  [5] Gather  my saints  together unto me; those that have made  a covenant  with me by sacrifice.  [6] And the heavens  shall declare  his righteousness:  for God  is judge  himself. Selah.  [7] Hear,  O my people,  and I will speak;  O Israel,  and I will testify  against thee: I am God,  [8] I will not reprove  thee for thy sacrifices  or thy burnt offerings,  to have been continually  [9] I will take  no bullock  out of thy house,  nor he goats  out of thy folds.  [10] For every beast  of the forest  is mine, and the cattle  upon a thousand  hills.  [11] I know  all the fowls  of the mountains:  and the wild beasts  of the field  are mine.  [12] If I were hungry,  I would not tell  thee: for the world  is mine, and the fulness  thereof. [13] Will I eat  the flesh  of bulls,  or drink  the blood  of goats?  [14] Offer  unto God  thanksgiving;  and pay  thy vows  unto the most High:  [15] And call  upon me in the day  of trouble:  I will deliver  thee, and thou shalt glorify  [16] But unto the wicked  God  saith,  What hast thou to do to declare  my statutes,  or that thou shouldest take  my covenant  in thy mouth?  [17] Seeing thou hatest  instruction,  and castest  my words  behind
