Psalm 50:1-6 - God comes and does not keep silence...

PSALM 50:1-6¹   The mighty one, God the LORD,           speaks and summons the earth           from the rising of the sun to its setting. ²   Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,           God shines forth.³   Our God comes and does not keep silence,           before him is a devouring fire,           and a mighty tempest all around him. ⁴   He calls to the heavens above           and to the earth, that he may judge his people: ⁵   “Gather to me my faithful ones,           who made a covenant with me by sacrifice!” ⁶   The heavens declare his righteousness,           for God himself is judge.                                  Selah
