## đź“ś Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
#### A psalm by Asaph.
50 El, God, the Lord has spoken,
and summoned the earth to come from the east and west.
2Â From Zion, the most beautiful of all places,
God has come in splendor.
3 “May our God come
and not be silent.”
Consuming fire goes ahead of him,
and all around him a storm rages.
4Â He summons the heavens above,
as well as the earth, so that he might judge his people.
5Â He says:
“Assemble my covenant people before me,
those who ratified a covenant with me by sacrifice.”
6Â The heavens declare his fairness,
for God is judge. (Selah)
7Â He says:
“Listen, my people. I am speaking!
Listen, Israel. I am accusing you.
I am God, your God!
8 I am not condemning you because of your sacrifices,
or because of your burnt sacrifices that you continually offer me.
9 I do not need to take a bull from your household
or goats from your sheepfolds.
10Â For every wild animal in the forest belongs to me,
as well as the cattle that graze on a thousand hills.
11 I keep track of every bird in the hills,
and the insects of the field are mine.
12Â Even if I were hungry, I would not tell you,
for the world and all it contains belong to me.
13Â Do I eat the flesh of bulls?
Do I drink the blood of goats?
14Â Present to God a thank offering.
Repay your vows to the Most High.
15Â Pray to me when you are in trouble.
I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”
16Â God says this to the evildoer:
“How can you declare my commands,
and talk about my covenant?
17Â For you hate instruction
and reject my words.
18Â When you see a thief, you join him;
you associate with men who are unfaithful to their wives.
19Â You do damage with words,
and use your tongue to deceive.
20Â You plot against your brother;
you slander your own brother.
21Â When you did these things, I was silent,
so you thought I was exactly like you.
But now I will condemn you
and state my case against you.
22Â Carefully consider this, you who reject God.
Otherwise I will rip you to shreds
and no one will be able to rescue you.
23Â Whoever presents a thank offering honors me.
To whoever obeys my commands, I will reveal my power to deliver.”
