Psalms 50
1 A psalm for Asaph. The God of gods, the Lord hath spoken: and he hath called the earth. From the rising of the sun, to the going down thereof:
上主，全能者天主，出令傳召下土，由太陽的出處直到太陽的落處。
2 Out of Sion the loveliness of his beauty.
天主由美麗絕倫的熙雍，發出光明，
3 God shall come manifestly: our God shall come, and shall not keep silence. A fire shall burn before him: and a mighty tempest shall be round about him.
我們的天主來臨，絕不會默默無聲；吞噬的烈火在祂前面開道，旋轉的風暴在祂的四周怒號。
4 He shall call heaven from above, and the earth, to judge his people.
天主呼喚了上乾下坤，要審判自己的人民：
5 Gather ye together his saints to him: who set his covenant before sacrifices.
你們應當給我聚集起虔敬我的人，就是那以犧牲與我訂立盟約的人。
6 And the heavens shall declare his justice: for God is judge.
諸天要宣示天主的公正，因為祂要親自審判世人。
7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak: O Israel, and I will testify to thee: I am God, thy God.
請聽，我的子民，我要發出言語；以色列，我向你警戒告訴，我是天主，我是你的天主。
8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices: and thy burnt offerings are always in my sight.
我並不因你的祭獻而責備你，因為我面前常有你的全燔祭。
9 I will not take calves out of thy house: nor he goats out of thy flocks.
我無須從你的家裏將牛犢攫取，也無須由你的圈裏把羊捉捕；
10 For all the beasts of the woods are mine: the cattle on the hills, and the oxen.
因為，森林裏的種種生物，全歸於我，山陵上的千萬走獸，都屬於我；
11 I know all the fowls of the air: and with me is the beauty of the field.
天空中的一切飛鳥，我都認識，田野間的所有動物，我全知悉。
12 If I should be hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
如果我饑餓，我不必向你告訴，因宇宙和其中一切盡屬我有。
13 Shall I eat the flesh of bullocks? or shall I drink the blood of goats?
難道我吃牛犢的肉塊，或者我喝山羊的鮮血？
14 Offer to God the sacrifice of praise: and pay thy vows to the most High.
為此你該向天主奉獻頌謝祭，你又該向至高者還你的願誓。
15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
並在困厄的時日，呼號我，我必拯救你，你要光榮我。
16 But to the sinner God hath said: Why dost thou declare my justices, and take my covenant in thy mouth?
天主卻對惡人說：你怎麼膽敢傳述我的誡命，你的口怎敢朗頌我的法令？
17 Seeing thou hast hated discipline: and hast cast my words behind thee.
你豈不是惱恨規矩，將我的話置諸腦後？
18 If thou didst see a thief thou didst run with him: and with adulterers thou hast been a partaker.
你遇見了盜賊，便與他同僚，與犯姦淫的人，就同流合夥；
19 Thy mouth hath abounded with evil, and thy tongue framed deceits.
你的口出言不善，你的舌造謠欺騙；
20 Sitting thou didst speak against thy brother, and didst lay a scandal against thy mother’s son:
不停地毀謗你的兄弟，常污辱你母親的兒子。
21 These things hast thou done, and I was silent. Thou thoughtest unjustly that I should be like to thee: but I will reprove thee, and set before thy face.
你既作了這些，我豈能緘口不言？難道你竟以為我真能與你一般¡H我要責斥你，將一切放在你眼前。
22 Understand these things, you that forget God; lest he snatch you away, and there be none to deliver you.
忘記天主的人們！你們要徹底覺悟，免得我撕裂你們時，沒有人來搶救。
23 The sacrifice of praise shall glorify me: and there is the way by which I will shew him the salvation of God.
奉獻頌謝祭的人就是給我奉獻光榮讚頌，行為正直的人我要使他享見天主的救恩。
