Psalm 50 Meaning
The meaning of Psalm 50 is very interesting, in it they talk about 3 very different sections: THE JUDGE, THE PLAYERS and THE JUDGMENT THAT WILL COME.
This Psalm tells us that when there is a JUDGE it is because there will be a judgment, in this judgment God will judge all our actions and your name will be in his book with all the details about your works that you have done.
When the Psalm speaks about the JUDGED , it is referring to the people of God, to his children and they will be in view of divine justice.
The Psalm also makes a mention of the JUDGMENT THAT WILL COME , in this section God makes a series of mentions telling us that your offerings do not matter if they do not come from your heart, those offerings or good acts should not be an obligation dedicated to God, but a form that is born from you.
