<p>Psalm 50 Worksheet </p>
<p>We come now to the first Psalm attributed to Asaph. Asaph wrote 12 psalms, this one, then 73 through 83.</p>
<p>Who was Asaph in the Bible?</p>
<p>Asaph was one of David’s ____________________ song leaders, and his sons carried on as song leaders at the Temple for generations to come. 1 Chr. 16:7 2 Chr. 29:30</p>
<p>For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God. -Nehemiah 12:46</p>
<p>The Great God calls the __________________________ to order! V. 1-6</p>
<p>What is God calling the earth to in verse 1? </p>
<p>To be a ________________________ to the charges God is about to make. </p>
<p>Men often have to think and live like practical atheists to sin the way they do. But God will come, men will ________________________, and God will have the last word! </p>
<p>Although Ps. 50 may be a rhetorical challenge, it reminds us of 2 great judgments to come: </p>
<p>The Great White Throne Judgment of unbelievers. Revelation 20</p>
<p>The Bema seat Judgment for ____________________. Romans 14:8-13</p>
<p>God’s indictment on _______________________ sacrifice V. 7-15</p>
<p>Notice that God is not just the Judge, but the ________________________! </p>
<p>The essence of verses 8-9 is that God doesn’t need us the way we need Him, so when you bring your offering to Him, don’t think you are doing Him a ____________________, bringing Him something He doesn’t possess! </p>
<p>Deuteronomy 8:11-20</p>
<p>Verses 14-15 tell us what to do when we have not been bringing God right sacrifices from a __________ heart.</p>
<p>God’s indictment on _______________________ practices V. 16-23</p>
<p>Sometimes we talk a lot about the sins of others and minimize and ____________________ our own and others close to us. Israel did it too. Here God calls that wickedness. </p>
<p>God is basically charging them with _____________________, as Jesus did when He came to earth. </p>
<p>Asaph’s song is very clear that God is not up in Heaven ‘________________________’ at our sin. </p>
<p>The last couple of verses don’t take away from God’s teaching about justification by faith, such as Genesis 15:6 – “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” The last couple verses call for the “_________________________ of the faith,” or as James said, being “doers of the word.” </p>
<p>By the way, note that James 1:18 comes before James 1:22 and James great statement that “faith without works is dead” in James chapter 2.</p>
<p>“The faith that saves is faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone.”</p>
<p>True faith will do good works = true new birth will result in fruit being born. </p>
