Psalms 50
1 [A Psalm by Asaph.] The Mighty One, God, the LORD, speaks, and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
| מִזְמֹ֗ור לְאָ֫סָ֥ף אֵ֤ל ׀ אֱֽלֹהִ֡ים יְֽהוָ֗ה דִּבֶּ֥ר וַיִּקְרָא־אָ֑רֶץ מִמִּזְרַח־שֶׁ֝֗מֶשׁ עַד־מְבֹאֹֽו׃ |
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.
| מִצִּיֹּ֥ון מִכְלַל־יֹ֗פִי אֱלֹהִ֥ים הֹופִֽיעַ׃ |
3 Our God comes, and does not keep silent. A fire devours before him. It is very stormy around him.
| יָ֤בֹ֥א אֱלֹהֵ֗ינוּ וְֽאַל־יֶ֫חֱרַ֥שׁ אֵשׁ־לְפָנָ֥יו תֹּאכֵ֑ל וּ֝סְבִיבָ֗יו נִשְׂעֲרָ֥ה מְאֹֽד׃ |
4 He calls to the heavens above, to the earth, that he may judge his people:
| יִקְרָ֣א אֶל־הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם מֵעָ֑ל וְאֶל־הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ לָדִ֥ין עַמֹּֽו׃ |
5 "Gather my faithful ones together to me, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice."
| אִסְפוּ־לִ֥י חֲסִידָ֑י כֹּרְתֵ֖י בְרִיתִ֣י עֲלֵי־זָֽבַח׃ |
6 The heavens shall declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge. (Selah)
| וַיַּגִּ֣ידוּ שָׁמַ֣יִם צִדְקֹ֑ו כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִ֓ים ׀ שֹׁפֵ֖ט ה֣וּא סֶֽלָה׃ |
7 "Hear, my people, and I will speak; Israel, and I will testify against you. I am God, your God.
| שִׁמְעָ֤ה עַמִּ֨י ׀ וַאֲדַבֵּ֗רָה יִ֭שְׂרָאֵל וְאָעִ֣ידָה בָּ֑ךְ אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֱלֹהֶ֣יךָ אָנֹֽכִי׃ |
8 I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices. Your burnt offerings are continually before me.
| לֹ֣א עַל־זְ֭בָחֶיךָ אֹוכִיחֶ֑ךָ וְעֹולֹתֶ֖יךָ לְנֶגְדִּ֣י תָמִֽיד׃ |
9 I have no need for a bull from your stall, nor male goats from your pens.
| לֹא־אֶקַּ֣ח מִבֵּיתְךָ֣ פָ֑ר מִ֝מִּכְלְאֹתֶ֗יךָ עַתּוּדִֽים׃ |
10 For every animal of the forest is mine, and the livestock on a thousand hills.
| כִּי־לִ֥י כָל־חַיְתֹו־יָ֑עַר בְּ֝הֵמֹ֗ות בְּהַרְרֵי־אָֽלֶף׃ |
11 I know all the birds of the mountains. The wild animals of the field are mine.
| יָ֭דַעְתִּי כָּל־עֹ֣וף הָרִ֑ים וְזִ֥יז שָׂ֝דַ֗י עִמָּדִֽי׃ |
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.
| אִם־אֶ֭רְעַב לֹא־אֹ֣מַר לָ֑ךְ כִּי־לִ֥י תֵ֝בֵ֗ל וּמְלֹאָֽהּ׃ |
13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
| הַֽ֭אֹוכַל בְּשַׂ֣ר אַבִּירִ֑ים וְדַ֖ם עַתּוּדִ֣ים אֶשְׁתֶּֽה׃ |
14 Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the Most High.
| זְבַ֣ח לֵאלֹהִ֣ים תֹּודָ֑ה וְשַׁלֵּ֖ם לְעֶלְיֹ֣ון נְדָרֶֽיךָ׃ |
15 Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me."
| וּ֭קְרָאֵנִי בְּיֹ֣ום צָרָ֑ה אֲ֝חַלֶּצְךָ֗ וּֽתְכַבְּדֵֽנִי׃ |
16 But to the wicked God says, "What right do you have to declare my statutes, that you have taken my covenant on your lips,
| וְלָ֤רָשָׁ֨ע ׀ אָ֘מַ֤ר אֱלֹהִ֗ים מַה־לְּ֭ךָ לְסַפֵּ֣ר חֻקָּ֑י וַתִּשָּׂ֖א בְרִיתִ֣י עֲלֵי־פִֽיךָ׃ |
17 seeing you hate instruction, and throw my words behind you?
| וְ֭אַתָּה שָׂנֵ֣אתָ מוּסָ֑ר וַתַּשְׁלֵ֖ךְ דְּבָרַ֣י אַחֲרֶֽיךָ׃ |
18 When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have participated with adulterers.
| אִם־רָאִ֣יתָ גַ֭נָּב וַתִּ֣רֶץ עִמֹּ֑ו וְעִ֖ם מְנָאֲפִ֣ים חֶלְקֶֽךָ׃ |
19 "You give your mouth to evil. Your tongue frames deceit.
| פִּ֭יךָ שָׁלַ֣חְתָּ בְרָעָ֑ה וּ֝לְשֹׁונְךָ֗ תַּצְמִ֥יד מִרְמָֽה׃ |
20 You sit and speak against your brother. You slander your own mother's son.
| תֵּ֭שֵׁב בְּאָחִ֣יךָ תְדַבֵּ֑ר בְּבֶֽן־אִ֝מְּךָ֗ תִּתֶּן־דֹּֽפִי׃ |
21 You have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that I was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.
| אֵ֤לֶּה עָשִׂ֨יתָ ׀ וְֽהֶחֱרַ֗שְׁתִּי דִּמִּ֗יתָ הֱֽיֹות־אֶֽהְיֶ֥ה כָמֹ֑וךָ אֹוכִיחֲךָ֖ וְאֶֽעֶרְכָ֣ה לְעֵינֶֽיךָ׃ |
22 "Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you into pieces, and there be none to deliver.
| בִּֽינוּ־נָ֣א זֹ֭את שֹׁכְחֵ֣י אֱלֹ֑והַּ פֶּן־אֶ֝טְרֹ֗ף וְאֵ֣ין מַצִּֽיל׃ |
23 Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me; and to him who orders his conduct I will show the salvation of God."
| זֹבֵ֥חַ תֹּודָ֗ה יְֽכַ֫בְּדָ֥נְנִי וְשָׂ֥ם דֶּ֑רֶךְ אַ֝רְאֶ֗נּוּ בְּיֵ֣שַׁע אֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
