Psalm 50

A psalm of Asaph.

1 The LORD, the Mighty One, is God,
and he has spoken;
he has summoned all humanity
from where the sun rises to where it sets.2 From Mount Zion, the perfection of beauty,
God shines in glorious radiance.3 Our God approaches,
and he is not silent.
Fire devours everything in his way,
and a great storm rages around him.4 He calls on the heavens above and earth below
to witness the judgment of his people.5 “Bring my faithful people to me—
those who made a covenant with me by giving sacrifices.”6 Then let the heavens proclaim his justice,
for God himself will be the judge.
Interlude7 “O my people, listen as I speak.
Here are my charges against you, O Israel:
I am God, your God!8 I have no complaint about your sacrifices
or the burnt offerings you constantly offer.9 But I do not need the bulls from your barns
or the goats from your pens.10 For all the animals of the forest are mine,
and I own the cattle on a thousand hills.11 I know every bird on the mountains,
and all the animals of the field are mine.12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
for all the world is mine and everything in it.13 Do I eat the meat of bulls?
Do I drink the blood of goats?14 Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God,
and keep the vows you made to the Most High.15 Then call on me when you are in trouble,
and I will rescue you,
and you will give me glory.”16 But God says to the wicked:
“Why bother reciting my decrees
and pretending to obey my covenant?17 For you refuse my discipline
and treat my words like trash.18 When you see thieves, you approve of them,
and you spend your time with adulterers.19 Your mouth is filled with wickedness,
and your tongue is full of lies.20 You sit around and slander your brother—
your own mother’s son.21 While you did all this, I remained silent,
and you thought I didn’t care.
But now I will rebuke you,
listing all my charges against you.22 Repent, all of you who forget me,
or I will tear you apart,
and no one will help you.23 But giving thanks is a sacrifice that truly honors me.
If you keep to my path,
I will reveal to you the salvation of God.”

Psalm 51

For the choir director: A psalm of David, regarding the time Nathan the prophet came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba.

1 Have mercy on me, O God,
because of your unfailing love.
Because of your great compassion,
blot out the stain of my sins.2 Wash me clean from my guilt.
Purify me from my sin.3 For I recognize my rebellion;
it haunts me day and night.4 Against you, and you alone, have I sinned;
I have done what is evil in your sight.
You will be proved right in what you say,
and your judgment against me is just.t5 For I was born a sinner—
yes, from the moment my mother conceived me.6 But you desire honesty from the womb,t
teaching me wisdom even there.7 Purify me from my sins,t and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.8 Oh, give me back my joy again;
you have broken me—
now let me rejoice.9 Don’t keep looking at my sins.
Remove the stain of my guilt.10 Create in me a clean heart, O God.
Renew a loyal spirit within me.11 Do not banish me from your presence,
and don’t take your Holy Spiritt from me.12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and make me willing to obey you.13 Then I will teach your ways to rebels,
and they will return to you.14 Forgive me for shedding blood, O God who saves;
then I will joyfully sing of your forgiveness.15 Unseal my lips, O Lord,
that my mouth may praise you.16 You do not desire a sacrifice, or I would offer one.
You do not want a burnt offering.17 The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit.
You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God.18 Look with favor on Zion and help her;
rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.19 Then you will be pleased with sacrifices offered in the right spirit—
with burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings.
Then bulls will again be sacrificed on your altar.

Psalm 52

For the choir director: A psalm of David, regarding the time Doeg the Edomite said to Saul, “David has gone to see Ahimelech.”

1 Why do you boast about your crimes, great warrior?
Don’t you realize God’s justice continues forever?2 All day long you plot destruction.
Your tongue cuts like a sharp razor;
you’re an expert at telling lies.3 You love evil more than good
and lies more than truth.
Interlude4 You love to destroy others with your words,
you liar!5 But God will strike you down once and for all.
He will pull you from your home
and uproot you from the land of the living.
Interlude6 The righteous will see it and be amazed.
They will laugh and say,7 “Look what happens to mighty warriors
who do not trust in God.
They trust their wealth instead
and grow more and more bold in their wickedness.”8 But I am like an olive tree, thriving in the house of God.
I will always trust in God’s unfailing love.9 I will praise you forever, O God,
for what you have done.
I will trust in your good name
in the presence of your faithful people.
