Psalms 50:1

Save as image

Study note

Psalms 50 is the first psalm in the Psalter attributed to Asaph, one of David's chief temple musicians. It opens like a royal summons to court: God, called by three names in a row (the Mighty One, God, the Lord), speaks and calls the whole earth, from where the sun rises to where it sets, to hear what he has to say.
