The Judgment of God

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 thereof.

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 him.

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, even thy God.

8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.

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 me.

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 thee.

18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.

19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.

20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.

21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.

23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.

Commentary

Psalm 50 is a powerful reminder that God is not indifferent to the actions of humanity. He is a just and holy God who will one day judge the world in righteousness. The psalmist emphasizes the importance of offering true worship, which is not just about rituals and sacrifices, but about a sincere and humble heart that seeks to honor God.The psalm also warns against hypocrisy and the tendency to use religion for personal gain. God is not pleased with those who go through the motions of religion but have no real relationship with Him. Instead, He desires repentance and a change of heart.Finally, the psalm offers hope and encouragement to those who trust in God. While the wicked will face judgment, the righteous can have confidence that God will deliver them from their troubles. We can have assurance that God is always with us, even in the midst of difficult circumstances.Overall, Psalm 50 is a sobering and yet comforting reminder of God's justice and mercy. It calls us to examine our hearts and our worship, and to trust in the salvation that comes through faith in Jesus Christ.
