< Psalms 50 >
1 A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from where the sun rises to where it sets.
psalmus Asaph Deus deorum Dominus locutus est et vocavit terram a solis ortu usque ad occasum
2 From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth.
ex Sion species decoris eius
3 Our God approaches and will not be silent! Consuming fire precedes Him, and a tempest rages around Him.
Deus manifeste veniet Deus noster et non silebit ignis in conspectu eius exardescet et in circuitu eius tempestas valida
4 He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that He may judge His people:
advocabit caelum desursum et terram discernere populum suum
5 “Gather to Me My saints, who made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”
congregate illi sanctos eius qui ordinant testamentum eius super sacrificia
6 And the heavens proclaim His righteousness, for God Himself is Judge.
et adnuntiabunt caeli iustitiam eius quoniam Deus iudex est diapsalma
7 “Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God.
audi populus meus et loquar tibi Israhel et testificabor tibi Deus Deus tuus ego sum
8 I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices, and your burnt offerings are ever before Me.
non in sacrificiis tuis arguam te holocausta autem tua in conspectu meo sunt semper
9 I have no need for a bull from your stall or goats from your pens,
non accipiam de domo tua vitulos neque de gregibus tuis hircos
10 for every beast of the forest is Mine— the cattle on a thousand hills.
quoniam meae sunt omnes ferae silvarum iumenta in montibus et boves
11 I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are Mine.
cognovi omnia volatilia caeli et pulchritudo agri mecum est
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is Mine, and the fullness thereof.
si esuriero non dicam tibi meus est enim orbis terrae et plenitudo eius
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
numquid manducabo carnes taurorum aut sanguinem hircorum potabo
14 Sacrifice a thank offering to God, and fulfill your vows to the Most High.
immola Deo sacrificium laudis et redde Altissimo vota tua
15 Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me.”
et invoca me in die tribulationis et eruam te et honorificabis me diapsalma
16 To the wicked, however, God says, “What right have you to recite My statutes and to bear My covenant on your lips?
peccatori autem dixit Deus quare tu enarras iustitias meas et adsumis testamentum meum per os tuum
17 For you hate My instruction and cast My words behind you.
tu vero odisti disciplinam et proiecisti sermones meos retrorsum
18 When you see a thief, you befriend him, and throw in your lot with adulterers.
si videbas furem currebas cum eo et cum adulteris portionem tuam ponebas
19 You unleash your mouth for evil and unharness your tongue for deceit.
os tuum abundavit malitia et lingua tua concinnabat dolos
20 You sit and malign your brother; you slander your own mother’s son.
sedens adversus fratrem tuum loquebaris et adversus filium matris tuae ponebas scandalum
21 You have done these things, and I kept silent; you thought I was just like you. But now I rebuke you and accuse you to your face.
haec fecisti et tacui existimasti inique quod ero tui similis arguam te et statuam contra faciem tuam
22 Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you:
intellegite nunc haec qui obliviscimini Deum nequando rapiat et non sit qui eripiat
23 He who sacrifices a thank offering honors Me, and to him who rights his way, I will show the salvation of God.”
sacrificium laudis honorificabit me et illic iter quod ostendam illi salutare Dei
