Give Thanks And Offer Praise
Psalm 50
Dwight Armstrong

Hear, O my people, and I'll speak, O Israel by name.
Against you I will testify, for God your God I am.
The fowls are all to me well known, that mountains high do yield;
I also claim as all my own The wild beasts of the field.

Pay all your vows to God most high; Give thanks and offer praise,
And when the day of trouble comes I'll hear and answer you.
Think you that I would eat of flesh or ask for sacrifice?
But rather unto Me your God, give thanks and offer praise.

But to the wicked man God says, Why mention my commands?
Why take my compact on your lips and cast my words behind?
Mark this, you who forget your God, and my instruction hate;
Therefore shall none deliver you, for this is my reproof.
