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.
| מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָף אֵל ׀ אֱֽלֹהִים יְֽהוָה דִּבֶּר וַיִּקְרָא־אָרֶץ מִמִּזְרַח־שֶׁמֶשׁ עַד־מְבֹאֽוֹ׃ |
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.
| מִצִיּוֹן מִכְלַל־יֹפִי אֱלֹהִים הוֹפִֽיעַ׃ |
3 Our God comes, and does not keep silent. A fire devours before him. It is very stormy around him.
| יָבֹא אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְֽאַל־יֶחֱרַשׁ אֵשׁ־לְפָנָיו תֹּאכֵל וּסְבִיבָיו נִשְׂעֲרָה מְאֹֽד׃ |
4 He calls to the heavens above, to the earth, that he may judge his people:
| יִקְרָא אֶל־הַשָּׁמַיִם מֵעָל וְאֶל־הָאָרֶץ לָדִין עַמּֽוֹ׃ |
5 "Gather my faithful ones together to me, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice."
| אִסְפוּ־לִי חֲסִידָי כֹּרְתֵי בְרִיתִי עֲלֵי־זָֽבַח׃ |
6 The heavens shall declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge. (Selah)
| וַיַּגִּידוּ שָׁמַיִם צִדְקוֹ כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִים ׀ שֹׁפֵט הוּא סֶֽלָה׃ |
7 "Hear, my people, and I will speak; Israel, and I will testify against you. I am God, your God.
| שִׁמְעָה עַמִּי ׀ וַאֲדַבֵּרָה יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאָעִידָה בָּךְ אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֶיךָ אָנֹֽכִי׃ |
8 I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices. Your burnt offerings are continually before me.
| לֹא עַל־זְבָחֶיךָ אוֹכִיחֶךָ וְעוֹלֹתֶיךָ לְנֶגְדִּי תָמִֽיד׃ |
9 I have no need for a bull from your stall, nor male goats from your pens.
| לֹא־אֶקַּח מִבֵּיתְךָ פָר מִמִּכְלְאֹתֶיךָ עַתּוּדִֽים׃ |
10 For every animal of the forest is mine, and the livestock on a thousand hills.
| כִּי־לִי כָל־חַיְתוֹ־יָעַר בְּהֵמוֹת בְּהַרְרֵי־אָֽלֶף׃ |
11 I know all the birds of the mountains. The wild animals of the field are mine.
| יָדַעְתִּי כָּל־עוֹף הָרִים וְזִיז שָׂדַי עִמָּדִֽי׃ |
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.
| אִם־אֶרְעַב לֹא־אֹמַר לָךְ כִּי־לִי תֵבֵל וּמְלֹאָֽהּ׃ |
13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
| הַֽאוֹכַל בְּשַׂר אַבִּירִים וְדַם עַתּוּדִים אֶשְׁתֶּֽה׃ |
14 Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the Most High.
| זְבַח לֵאלֹהִים תּוֹדָה וְשַׁלֵּם לְעֶלְיוֹן נְדָרֶֽיךָ׃ |
15 Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me."
| וּקְרָאֵנִי בְּיוֹם צָרָה אֲחַלֶּצְךָ 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,
| וְלָרָשָׁע ׀ אָמַר אֱלֹהִים מַה־לְּךָ לְסַפֵּר חֻקָּי וַתִּשָּׂא בְרִיתִי עֲלֵי־פִֽיךָ׃ |
17 seeing you hate instruction, and throw my words behind you?
| וְאַתָּה שָׂנֵאתָ מוּסָר וַתַּשְׁלֵךְ דְּבָרַי אַחֲרֶֽיךָ׃ |
18 When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have participated with adulterers.
| אִם־רָאִיתָ גַנָּב וַתִּרֶץ עִמּוֹ וְעִם מְנָאֲפִים חֶלְקֶֽךָ׃ |
19 "You give your mouth to evil. Your tongue frames deceit.
| פִּיךָ שָׁלַחְתָּ בְרָעָה וּלְשׁוֹנְךָ תַּצְמִיד מִרְמָֽה׃ |
20 You sit and speak against your brother. You slander your own mother's son.
| תֵּשֵׁב בְּאָחִיךָ תְדַבֵּר בְּבֶֽן־אִמְּךָ 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.
| אֵלֶּה עָשִׂיתָ ׀ וְֽהֶחֱרַשְׁתִּי דִּמִּיתָ הֱֽיוֹת־אֶֽהְיֶה כָמוֹךָ אוֹכִיחֲךָ וְאֶֽעֶרְכָה לְעֵינֶֽיךָ׃ |
22 "Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you into pieces, and there be none to deliver.
| בִּֽינוּ־נָא זֹאת שֹׁכְחֵי אֱלוֹהַּ פֶּן־אֶטְרֹף וְאֵין מַצִּֽיל׃ |
23 Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me; and to him who orders his conduct I will show the salvation of God."
| זֹבֵחַ תּוֹדָה יְֽכַבְּדָנְנִי וְשָׂם דֶּרֶךְ אַרְאֶנּוּ בְּיֵשַׁע אֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
