Psalms 50
1 “A psalm of Assaph.” The God of gods, the Lord, speaketh, and calleth the earth, from the rising of the sun unto his setting.
| מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָף אֵל ׀ אֱֽלֹהִים יְֽהוָה דִּבֶּר וַיִּקְרָא־אָרֶץ מִמִּזְרַח־שֶׁמֶשׁ עַד־מְבֹאֽוֹ׃ |
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shineth forth.
| מִצִיּוֹן מִכְלַל־יֹפִי אֱלֹהִים הוֹפִֽיעַ׃ |
3 Our God is coming, and will not keep silence: a fire devoureth before him, and round him there rageth a mighty storm.
| יָבֹא אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְֽאַל־יֶחֱרַשׁ אֵשׁ־לְפָנָיו תֹּאכֵל וּסְבִיבָיו נִשְׂעֲרָה מְאֹֽד׃ |
4 He will call to the heavens above, and to the earth, to judge his people.
| יִקְרָא אֶל־הַשָּׁמַיִם מֵעָל וְאֶל־הָאָרֶץ לָדִין עַמּֽוֹ׃ |
5 “Gather together unto me my pious servants, who make a covenant with me by sacrifice.”
| אִסְפוּ־לִי חֲסִידָי כֹּרְתֵי בְרִיתִי עֲלֵי־זָֽבַח׃ |
6 And the heavens tell of his righteousness; for God is judge himself. (Selah)
| וַיַּגִּידוּ שָׁמַיִם צִדְקוֹ כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִים ׀ שֹׁפֵט הוּא סֶֽלָה׃ |
7 “Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: God, thy God, am I.
| שִׁמְעָה עַמִּי ׀ וַאֲדַבֵּרָה יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאָעִידָה בָּךְ אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֶיךָ אָנֹֽכִי׃ |
8 Not because of thy sacrifices will I reprove thee; and thy burnt-offerings are continually before me.
| לֹא עַל־זְבָחֶיךָ אוֹכִיחֶךָ וְעוֹלֹתֶיךָ לְנֶגְדִּי תָמִֽיד׃ |
9 I will not take a bullock out of thy house, nor he-goats out of thy folds.
| לֹא־אֶקַּח מִבֵּיתְךָ פָר מִמִּכְלְאֹתֶיךָ עַתּוּדִֽים׃ |
10 For mine are all the beasts of the forest, the cattle upon a thousand mountains.
| כִּי־לִי כָל־חַיְתוֹ־יָעַר בְּהֵמוֹת בְּהַרְרֵי־אָֽלֶף׃ |
11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: whatever moveth on the fields is with me.
| יָדַעְתִּי כָּל־עוֹף הָרִים וְזִיז שָׂדַי עִמָּדִֽי׃ |
12 If I were hungry, I would not say it to thee; for mine is the world, and what filleth it.
| אִם־אֶרְעַב לֹא־אֹמַר לָךְ כִּי־לִי תֵבֵל וּמְלֹאָֽהּ׃ |
13 Do I eat the flesh of fatted bulls, or drink the blood of he-goats?
| הַֽאוֹכַל בְּשַׂר אַבִּירִים וְדַם עַתּוּדִים אֶשְׁתֶּֽה׃ |
14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay unto the Most High thy vows;
| זְבַח לֵאלֹהִים תּוֹדָה וְשַׁלֵּם לְעֶלְיוֹן נְדָרֶֽיךָ׃ |
15 And call on me on the day of distress: I will deliver thee, — and so wilt thou glorify me.”
| וּקְרָאֵנִי בְּיוֹם צָרָה אֲחַלֶּצְךָ וּֽתְכַבְּדֵֽנִי׃ |
16 But unto the wicked God saith, “What hast thou to do to relate my statutes, and why bearest thou my covenant upon thy mouth?
| וְלָרָשָׁע ׀ אָמַר אֱלֹהִים מַה־לְּךָ לְסַפֵּר חֻקָּי וַתִּשָּׂא בְרִיתִי עֲלֵי־פִֽיךָ׃ |
17 And yet thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.
| וְאַתָּה שָׂנֵאתָ מוּסָר וַתַּשְׁלֵךְ דְּבָרַי אַחֲרֶֽיךָ׃ |
18 When thou seest a thief, then art thou pleased with him, and with adulterers hast thou thy portion.
| אִם־רָאִיתָ גַנָּב וַתִּרֶץ עִמּוֹ וְעִם מְנָאֲפִים חֶלְקֶֽךָ׃ |
19 Thou lettest loose thy mouth with evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
| פִּיךָ שָׁלַחְתָּ בְרָעָה וּלְשׁוֹנְךָ תַּצְמִיד מִרְמָֽה׃ |
20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; against thy own mother's son thou utterest slander.
| תֵּשֵׁב בְּאָחִיךָ תְדַבֵּר בְּבֶֽן־אִמְּךָ תִּתֶּן־דֹּֽפִי׃ |
21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence: thou didst ween that I am like thyself; [but] I will reprove thee, and set it in order before thy eyes.”
| אֵלֶּה עָשִׂיתָ ׀ וְֽהֶחֱרַשְׁתִּי דִּמִּיתָ הֱֽיוֹת־אֶֽהְיֶה כָמוֹךָ אוֹכִיחֲךָ וְאֶֽעֶרְכָה לְעֵינֶֽיךָ׃ |
22 Do but reflect on this, ye that forget God, lest I tear [you] in pieces, with none to deliver.
| בִּֽינוּ־נָא זֹאת שֹׁכְחֵי אֱלוֹהַּ פֶּן־אֶטְרֹף וְאֵין מַצִּֽיל׃ |
23 Whoso offereth thanksgiving glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his course aright, will I show the salvation of God.
| זֹבֵחַ תּוֹדָה יְֽכַבְּדָנְנִי וְשָׂם דֶּרֶךְ אַרְאֶנּוּ בְּיֵשַׁע אֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
