Our God is a Covenant Keeping God
THE MIGHTY One, God, the Lord, speaks
and calls the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.
Our God comes and does not keep silence;
a fire devours before Him, and round about Him a mighty tempest rages.
He calls to the heavens above and to the earth, that He may judge His people:
Gather together to Me My saints
[those who have found grace in My sight],
those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.
And the heavens declare His righteousness (rightness and justice),
for God, He is judge.
Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
and pay your vows to the Most High,
And call on Me in the day of trouble;
I will deliver you, and you shall honor and glorify Me
But to the wicked, God says: What right have you to recite My statutes
or take My covenant or pledge on your lips,
Seeing that you hate instruction and correction
and cast My words behind you [discarding them]? (not believing and obeying God's Word)
He who brings an offering of praise and thanksgiving
honors and glorifies Me;
and he who orders his way aright
[who prepares the way that I may show him],
to him I will demonstrate the salvation of God.
-- Psalm 50: 1-6, 14-17, 23
