< Psalms 50 >

1 A Psalm. Of Asaph. God, Elohim-Jehovah, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָף אֵל ׀ אֱֽלֹהִים יְֽהֹוָה דִּבֶּר וַיִּקְרָא־אָרֶץ מִמִּזְרַח־שֶׁמֶשׁ עַד־מְבֹאֽוֹ׃
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth.
מִצִּיּוֹן מִכְלַל־יֹפִי אֱלֹהִים הוֹפִֽיעַ׃
3 Our God will come, and will not keep silence: fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
יָבֹא אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְֽאַל־יֶחֱרַשׁ אֵשׁ־לְפָנָיו תֹּאכֵל וּסְבִיבָיו נִשְׂעֲרָה מְאֹֽד׃
4 He will call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people:
יִקְרָא אֶל־הַשָּׁמַיִם מֵעָל וְאֶל־הָאָרֶץ לָדִין עַמּֽוֹ׃
5 Gather unto me my godly ones, those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice!
אִסְפוּ־לִי חֲסִידָי כֹּרְתֵי בְרִיתִי עֲלֵי־זָֽבַח׃
6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness; for God executeth judgment himself. (Selah)
וַיַּגִּידוּ שָׁמַיִם צִדְקוֹ כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִים ׀ שֹׁפֵט הוּא סֶֽלָה׃
7 Hear, my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I am God, thy God.
שִׁמְעָה עַמִּי ׀ וַאֲדַבֵּרָה יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאָעִידָה בָּךְ אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֶיךָ אָנֹֽכִי׃
8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt-offerings, continually before me;
לֹא עַל־זְבָחֶיךָ אוֹכִיחֶךָ וְעוֹלֹתֶיךָ לְנֶגְדִּי תָמִֽיד׃
9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, [nor] he-goats out of thy folds:
לֹא־אֶקַּח מִבֵּיתְךָ פָר מִמִּכְלְאֹתֶיךָ עַתּוּדִֽים׃
10 For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle upon a thousand hills;
כִּי־לִי כׇל־חַיְתוֹ־יָעַר בְּהֵמוֹת בְּהַרְרֵי־אָֽלֶף׃
11 I know all the fowl of the mountains, and the roaming creatures of the field are mine:
יָדַעְתִּי כׇּל־עוֹף הָרִים וְזִיז שָׂדַי עִמָּדִֽי׃
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
אִם־אֶרְעַב לֹא־אֹמַר לָךְ כִּי־לִי תֵבֵל וּמְלֹאָֽהּ׃
13 Should I eat the flesh of bulls, and drink the blood of goats?
הַאוֹכַל בְּשַׂר אַבִּירִים וְדַם עַתּוּדִים אֶשְׁתֶּֽה׃
14 Offer unto God thanksgiving, and perform thy vows unto the Most High;
זְבַח לֵאלֹהִים תּוֹדָה וְשַׁלֵּם לְעֶלְיוֹן נְדָרֶֽיךָ׃
15 And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
וּקְרָאֵנִי בְּיוֹם צָרָה אֲחַלֶּצְךָ וּֽתְכַבְּדֵֽנִי׃
16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant into thy mouth,
וְלָרָשָׁע ׀ אָמַר אֱלֹהִים מַה־לְּךָ לְסַפֵּר חֻקָּי וַתִּשָּׂא בְרִיתִי עֲלֵי־פִֽיךָ׃
17 Seeing thou hast hated correction and hast cast my words behind thee?
וְאַתָּה שָׂנֵאתָ מוּסָר וַתַּשְׁלֵךְ דְּבָרַי אַחֲרֶֽיךָ׃
18 When thou sawest a thief, thou didst take pleasure in him, and thy portion was with adulterers;
אִם־רָאִיתָ גַנָּב וַתִּרֶץ עִמּוֹ וְעִם מְנָאֲפִים חֶלְקֶֽךָ׃
19 Thou lettest thy mouth loose to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit;
פִּיךָ שָׁלַחְתָּ בְרָעָה וּלְשׁוֹנְךָ תַּצְמִיד מִרְמָֽה׃
20 Thou sittest [and] speakest against thy brother, thou revilest thine own mother's son:
תֵּשֵׁב בְּאָחִיךָ תְדַבֵּר בְּבֶֽן־אִמְּךָ תִּתֶּן־דֹּֽפִי׃
21 These [things] hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether as thyself: [but] I will reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine eyes.
אֵלֶּה עָשִׂיתָ ׀ וְֽהֶחֱרַשְׁתִּי דִּמִּיתָ הֱיֽוֹת־אֶהְיֶה כָמוֹךָ אוֹכִיחֲךָ וְאֶעֶרְכָה לְעֵינֶֽיךָ׃
22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear in pieces, and there be no deliverer.
בִּינוּ־נָא זֹאת שֹׁכְחֵי אֱלוֹהַּ פֶּן־אֶטְרֹף וְאֵין מַצִּֽיל׃
23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me; and to him that ordereth [his] way will I shew the salvation of God.
זֹבֵחַ תּוֹדָה יְֽכַבְּדָנְנִי וְשָׂם דֶּרֶךְ אַרְאֶנּוּ בְּיֵשַׁע אֱלֹהִֽים׃
