Read the chapter

1The Mighty One, God, the Lord, has spoken And summoned the earth, from the rising of the sun to its setting. ✦ 2Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shone. ✦ 3May our God come and not keep silent; Fire devours before Him, And a storm is violently raging around Him. ✦ 4He summons the heavens above, And the earth, to judge His people: ✦ 5“Gather My godly ones to Me, Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.” ✦ 6And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself is judge. Selah ✦ 7¶“Hear, My people, and I will speak; Israel, I will testify against you; I am God, your God. ✦ 8“I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices, And your burnt offerings are continually before Me. ✦ 9“I will not take a bull from your house, Nor male goats from your folds. ✦ 10“For every animal of the forest is Mine, The cattle on a thousand hills. ✦ 11“I know every bird of the mountains, And everything that moves in the field is Mine. ✦ 12“If I were hungry I would not tell you, For the world is Mine, and everything it contains. ✦ 13“Shall I eat the flesh of bulls Or drink the blood of male goats? 14“Offer God a sacrifice of thanksgiving And pay your vows to the Most High; ✦ 15Call upon Me on the day of trouble; I will rescue you, and you will honor Me.” ✦ 16¶But to the wicked God says, “What right do you have to tell of My statutes And to take My covenant in your mouth? ✦ 17“For you yourself hate discipline, And you throw My words behind you. ✦ 18“When you see a thief, you become friends with him, And you associate with adulterers. ✦ 19“You let your mouth loose in evil, And your tongue harnesses deceit. ✦ 20“You sit and speak against your brother; You slander your own mother’s son. ✦ 21“These things you have done and I kept silent; You thought that I was just like you; I will rebuke you and present the case before your eyes. ✦ 22¶“Now consider this, you who forget God, Or I will tear you in pieces, and there will be no one to save you. ✦ 23“He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me; And to him who sets his way properly I will show the salvation of God.” ✦

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.

How Psalms 50 points to him is part of the one story that runs through all Scripture — meet Jesus at the heart of the web, or follow a trail that traces him from Genesis to Revelation.
