Psalms 50:4

He summons the heavens above, as well as the earth, so that he might judge his people. ¹ 

He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that he may judge his people:

He summons the heavens above, And the earth, to judge His people:

Heaven and earth will be his witnesses as he judges his people:

He summons heaven and earth as a jury, he's taking his people to court:

His voice will go out to the heavens and to the earth, for the judging of his people:

He calls to the heavens above and to the earth, that he may judge his people:

He shall call to the heavens from above, And to the earth, that He may judge His people:

He summons the heavens above, as well as the earth, so that he might judge his people. ¹ 

¹ tn Or perhaps “to testify against his people.”

sn The personified heavens and earth (see v. 1 as well) are summoned to God’s courtroom as witnesses against God’s covenant people (see Isa 1:2). Long before this Moses warned the people that the heavens and earth would be watching their actions (see Deut 4:26; 30:19; 31:28; 32:1).
