From the Rising of the sun till its Setting
Psalm 50:1-3 The Lord has spoken and summoned the world. From the rising of the sun till its setting, He shines out from Zion, perfect in beauty. The Lord is coming and will not keep silent. Consuming fire runs ahead and round Him a great storm rages. [This is the fire judgement and punishment of the nations, a CME strikes the earth – every part as it rotates to face the sun. It is the Day of the Lord’s vengeance, the next prophesied event.]
Psalm 50:4-6 The heavens and the earth are summoned to the judgement of His people. Gather to Me, My loyal servants, those, who by sacrifice have made a Covenant with Me. The heavens will proclaim His justice, for the Lord Himself is the Judge.
[His loyal servants, righteous Israel, gathered into the Land]
Psalm 50:7-8 Listen, My people and I shall speak: I shall bear witness against you. Israel – I am your God. Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you.
[They are judged and rebuked for their sins.]
Psalm 50:9-13 I need take no animal of yours, for all living creatures are Mine. I know every bird on the hills and all the life of the fields is in My care.
If I were hungry, I would not tell you, the world and everything that is in it is Mine – I do not need to eat flesh or blood.
[Animal sacrifices are not required]
Psalm 50:14-15 Offer to the Lord your sacrifice of thanksgiving and fulfil your vows to Him. Then, if you call on Me in times of trouble, I will come to your rescue and you will honour Me.
[God tells us what is required of us: be thankful, keep His Laws and trust Him for our salvation] Micah 6:8, Zechariah 8:16-17.
Psalm 50:16-20 The Lord’s word to a wicked person is this: What right have you to recite My statues and embrace My Covenant? For you hate correction and you decry My Word. You make thieves and adulterers your friends and you speak lies.
You always talk against your brother, imputing faults to your own kin.
[These people who have God’s Laws, but do not obey them, are His enemies. Verse 20 refers to people who are Israelite, but don’t know it. Those that are against the Jews – anti Semites]
Psalm 50:21-22 You do these things because you think that I am like yourself. But I shall rebuke you and accuse you to your face. You who forget the Lord, think on this, lest I tear you to pieces, with no one to save you.
[Bad mistake to think that God approves of your wrong actions, or inactions, as the case may be. He is the Maker, we are His creation, if we turn out faulty and useless to Him, then what can we expect?]
Psalm 50:23 Those who offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving, who honour Me and follow My ways, I shall show My salvation.
[Faithful believers, who follow God’s Laws and give Him thanks for His provision, they will receive His salvation and deliverance on the Day of vengeance and wrath.] Ref: REB verses abridged.
