American Standard Version

Psalm 50:1-15 American Standard Version (ASV)

1. The Mighty One, God, Jehovah, 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 forth.

3. Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence: A fire devoureth before him, And it is very tempestuous round about him.

4. He calleth to the heavens 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.

7. Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I am God, even thy God.

8. I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; And thy burnt-offerings are 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 birds 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 the sacrifice of 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.
