                      Give Thanks and Offer Praise
                               Psalm 50


1.   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.

2.   Sing joyful songs 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.

3.   But to the wicked man God says, "Why mention My commands? Why take
     My cov'nant on your lips, and cast My words behind?" He glorifies My
     name who brings the sacrifice of praise: I'll show salvation unto him who
     orders right his ways.
