Psalm 50

1- 2 A poem song for the permanent collection. The Creator God of the Universe has given a summons from His permanent residence - which is full of His light emitting Presence - to everyone who lives on this earth. 3 - 5 Very soon He will come - but not secretly (or quietly) this time. Fire will flame out before Him and the very atmosphere encircling Him will roll, swirl and billow. He will cause everyone - no matter who they are or where they are - to answer His summpons to meet with Him so He can plead the cause of all who choose to accept His covenant with them, and to gather them together to Him. 6 The whole universe will agree with His right choices, for the Almighty God will vindicate Himself. (pause for music)

7 I, the Almighty God, speak first to those who have accepted my covenant promise to make them My family. Listen, there is a problem. 8 the offerings and sacrifices you always bring to Me aren't the problem. 9 - 11 I'm not asking for more of anything for every living creature already belongs to Me - be they tame or wild animals in field and forest or even flying birds or insects. 12 If I got an intense desire for any of them I wouldn't tell you, for the whole world already belongs to me. 13 Honestly, (think about it) do I even eat animals or drink blood? 14-15 Just thank Me for what I do for you; keep your promise of loyalty to Me and call Me for help whenever you need it. I will deliver you and you will honor Me by giving Me full credit.

16 - 17 Now I, the Supreme God, speak to those who don't agree with Me. What right do you have to talk about My ways or claim any advantages of agreeing with Me? You don't respect Me or even listen to Me. 18 - 19 You do approve of what thieves do and even share their booty; you co-habit with anyone who disagrees with Me; you speak hurtful, false, crafty, treacherous words even when at home with your family or when talking to others about your family. 21 I haven't responded to you while you were doing what I've just mentioned, so you came to believe I was just like you. But now it's My turn to speak so you can see things the way they really are. 22 Those of you who choose not to care about Me - the Excellent God - understand one thing (so you don't end up some time simply in pieces with no value). 32 When you thank Me, you reveal who I am really like. When you agree with Me and choose to cooperate with Me, I will save you and you will be able to see Me face to face - to know and experience who I really am.
