Commentary on Psalm 50:7 (Summary)

Psaume 50:7 (NEG79)

7 Ecoute, mon peuple! et je parlerai;Israël! et je t'avertirai.Je suis Dieu, ton Dieu.

There is now a powerful call to listen. It is made absolutely clear who is speaking: I am God, your God (cf. Psalm 81:9, Psalm 81:11). A stronger exhortation to listen cannot be imagined. It is significant that the Lord adds to this call: your (own) God. You should know that—even when you hear critical words. God continues to regard Israel as his people. Therein glimmers compassion and hope. Our God is a seeking God.
