Psalm 50

1. The Mighty One, the LORD, proclaims His Word; / God speaks, and ev’ry where His voice is heard, / And from the rising to the setting sun / His summons stands, His high command is done. / Out of His Zion God shines forth in splendor; / Men to her perfect beauty homage render. /

2. Our God will not keep silent but speak out; / Devouring fire puts all His foes to rout. / A mighty tempest round about Him swirls / When He His summons at creation hurls. / The heav’ns above, the earth below shall hear / Him / When He gives judgment to all those who fear / Him. /

3. “Go out and gather at My high decree / My servants, who by sacrifice to Me / Have made with Me a steadfast covenant; / Those faithful ones, whom I My help shall grant.” / The heav’ns declare Thy justice with elation, / For God Himself is Judge and rules His nation. / W. van der Kamp, 1972
