Psalms 50:4-11 in English

⁴ He calleth to the heavens above, And to the earth, that he may judge his people:

⁵ Gather my saints together unto me, Those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.

⁶ And the heavens shall declare his righteousness; For God is judge himself. Selah

⁷ Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I am God, even thy God.

⁸ I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; And thy burnt-offerings are continually before me.

⁹ I will take no bullock out of thy house, Nor he-goats out of thy folds.

¹⁰ For every beast of the forest is mine, And the cattle upon a thousand hills.

¹¹ I know all the birds of the mountains; And the wild beasts of the field are mine.

⁴ Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

⁵ For I am conscious of mine iniquity; and my sin is continually before me.

⁶ Against thee only have I sinned, and done evil before thee: that thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

⁷ For, behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me.

⁸ For, behold, thou lovest truth: thou hast manifested to me the secret and hidden things of thy wisdom.

⁹ Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.

¹⁰ Thou shalt cause me to hear gladness and joy: the afflicted bones shall rejoice.

¹¹ Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

⁴ He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
