Commentary on Psalms 50:7

Theological / Devotional

Hear. God speaks directly to Israel. In this section the psalmist deals chiefly with man’s duty to God and with the evils of mere formalism in religion (see Isa. 1:11–15).

Will testify. The Judge is also the plaintiff.

God, even thy God. The God who has protected His people has a right to declare the principles of true worship, upon which His government is established.
