Read the chapter

1The Mighty One, God the Lord, Has spoken and called the earth From the rising of the sun to its going down. ✦ 2Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God will shine forth. ✦ 3Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent; A fire shall devour before Him, And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him. ✦ 4He shall call to the heavens from above, And to the earth, that He may judge His people: ✦ 5“Gather My saints together to Me, Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.” ✦ 6Let the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself is Judge. Selah ✦ 7“Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you; I am God, your God! ✦ 8I will not rebuke you for your sacrifices Or your burnt offerings, Which are continually before Me. ✦ 9I will not take a bull from your house, Nor goats out of your folds. ✦ 10For every beast of the forest is Mine, And the cattle on a thousand hills. ✦ 11I 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 you; For the world is Mine, and all its fullness. ✦ 13Will I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats? 14Offer to God thanksgiving, And pay your vows to the Most High. ✦ 15Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.” ✦ 16But to the wicked God says: “What right have you to declare My statutes, Or take My covenant in your mouth, ✦ 17Seeing you hate instruction And cast My words behind you? ✦ 18When you saw a thief, you consented with him, And have been a partaker with adulterers. ✦ 19You give your mouth to evil, And your tongue frames deceit. ✦ 20You sit and speak against your brother; You slander your own mother’s son. ✦ 21These things you have done, and I kept silent; You thought that I was altogether like you; But I will rebuke you, And set them in order before your eyes. ✦ 22“Now consider this, you who forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, And there be none to deliver: ✦ 23Whoever offers praise glorifies Me; And to him who orders his conduct aright 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.
