Psalm 50


1-2     The mighty God, even the Lord (The Word), hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.

(What has The Word spoken to you?  Stop and think!   Focus on that Word.)


Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God (The Word) hath shined.

How to recognize those ideas that are from God:

James 3:17    But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.


***

Psalm 119

24    Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.

25    quicken thou me (make me alive) according to Thy word.

27    Make me to understand the way of Thy precepts: so shall I talk of Thy wondrous works.

30    I have chosen the way of truth: Thy judgments have I laid before me.

37   Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me (make me alive) in Thy way.

40    Behold, I have longed after Thy precepts: quicken me in Thy righteousness.

46     I will speak of Thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.

59   I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto Thy testimonies. 

63    I am a companion of all them that fear Thee (The Word), and of them that keep Thy precepts.

66   Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed Thy commandments.

89    For ever, O Lord, Thy word is settled in heaven.

92   Unless Thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.

105   Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

130    The entrance of Thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

Psalm 50:3-5    
Our God (The Word) shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before Him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about Him.

HE
(The Word) shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge His people.



Gather MY saints together unto ME; those that have made a covenant with ME by sacrifice.

(Our sacrifice is crucifying our own fleshly desires in order to do The Word.)


***



6    And the heavens shall declare His righteousness  (The Word) : for God  (The Word) is judge Himself. 


***

7   
Hear, O MY people, and I  (The Word) will speak; O Israel, and I  (The Word) will testify against thee: I
(The Word)
am God, even thy God.  


***8-13     I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before Me.  I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.

For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.

I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.

If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?


***

14-15
  Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:

And call upon ME in the day of trouble: I (The Word) will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify ME
(The Word) .

(We glorify The Word by doing The Word.)


***


16-22     But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare MY statutes, or that thou shouldest take MY covenant in thy mouth?

Seeing thou hatest instruction, and casteth MY words behind thee.

When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.

Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.

Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.

These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.



Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.


***

23     Whoso offereth praise glorifieth ME: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I 
(The Word) shew the salvation of God.
