KJV: Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.

AKJV: Whoever offers praise glorifies me: and to him that orders his conversation aright will I show the salvation of God.

ASV: Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifieth me;

YLT: He who is sacrificing praise honoureth Me, As to him who maketh a way, I cause him to look on the salvation of God!

Exposition: Psalms 50:23 emphasizes a key movement in the chapter's argument. In KJV form, the text reads: 'Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.'. Read in canonical context, the verse supports the coherence of biblical revelation by linking doctrine, narrative, and covenantal meaning.

• Historical Evidence: Historically, this verse is interpreted within the received canonical tradition, where manuscript continuity and early community usage support stable transmission and meaning.
