Psalms 50
1 A Melody of Asaph. El, Elohim, Yahweh, hath spoken, and culled the earth, From the rising of the sun, unto the going in thereof:
亞薩的詩。 大能者上帝－耶和華已經發言招呼天下， 從日出之地到日落之處。
2 Out of Zion the perfection of beauty, God, hath shone forth.
從全美的錫安中， 上帝已經發光了。
3 Let our God come, and let him not keep silence! A fire—before him, shall devour, And, around him, hath it become exceeding tempestuous:
我們的上帝要來，決不閉口。 有烈火在他面前吞滅； 有暴風在他四圍大颳。
4 He calleth, Unto the heavens above, And unto the earth, That he may judge his people.
他招呼上天下地， 為要審判他的民，
5 Gather yourselves unto me—ye my men of lovingkindness, Who have solemnised my covenant over sacrifice.
說：招聚我的聖民到我這裏來， 就是那些用祭物與我立約的人。
6 Now have the heavens declared his righteousness, Because, God, is, about to judge. (Selah)
諸天必表明他的公義， 因為上帝是施行審判的。 (細拉)
7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will adjure thee, God, thine own God, I am: —
我的民哪，你們當聽我的話！ 以色列啊，我要勸戒你； 我是上帝，是你的上帝！
8 Not, for thy sacrifices, will I reprove thee, Nor for thine ascending-offerings, before me continually:
我並不因你的祭物責備你； 你的燔祭常在我面前。
9 I will not take out of thy house—a bullock, Nor out of thy folds—he-goats;
我不從你家中取公牛， 也不從你圈內取山羊；
10 For, mine, is every wild-beast of the forest, The cattle on the mountains, in their thousands;
因為，樹林中的百獸是我的， 千山上的牲畜也是我的。
11 I know every bird of the mountains, And, the moving things of the plain, are with me:
山中的飛鳥，我都知道； 野地的走獸也都屬我。
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee, For, mine, is the world, and the fulness thereof.
我若是飢餓，我不用告訴你， 因為世界和其中所充滿的都是我的。
13 Will I eat the flesh of mighty oxen? Or, the blood of he-goats, will I drink?
我豈吃公牛的肉呢？ 我豈喝山羊的血呢？
14 Sacrifice to God a thankoffering, And pay to the Most High thy vows;
你們要以感謝為祭獻與上帝， 又要向至高者還你的願，
15 Call upon me, then, in the day of distress, I will deliver thee, that thou mayest glorify me.
並要在患難之日求告我； 我必搭救你，你也要榮耀我。
16 But, to the lawless one, God saith, What hast, thou, to do, to recount my statutes? Or that thou hast taken up my covenant upon thy mouth?
但上帝對惡人說：你怎敢傳說我的律例， 口中提到我的約呢？
17 Seeing that, thou, hast hated correction, And hast cast my words behind thee;
其實你恨惡管教， 將我的言語丟在背後。
18 If thou sawest a thief, then didst thou run with him, —And, with adulterers, hath been thy chosen life;
你見了盜賊就樂意與他同夥， 又與行姦淫的人一同有分。
19 Thy mouth, hast thou thrust into wickedness, And, thy tongue, kept weaving deceit;
你口任說惡言； 你舌編造詭詐。
20 Thou wouldst sit down—Against thine own brother, wouldst thou speak, Against thine own mother’s son, wouldst thou expose a fault: —
你坐着毀謗你的兄弟， 讒毀你親母的兒子。
21 These things, hast thou done, and I have kept silence, Thou thoughtest that I should really be like thyself, I will convict thee, yea I will set [thine offences] in order before thine eyes.
你行了這些事，我還閉口不言， 你想我恰和你一樣； 其實我要責備你，將這些事擺在你眼前。
22 Understand this, I pray you, ye forgetters of GOD, Lest I tear in pieces, and there be none to deliver: —
你們忘記上帝的，要思想這事， 免得我把你們撕碎，無人搭救。
23 He that sacrificeth a thankoffering, will glorify me, —And will prepare a way by which I may show him the salvation of God.
凡以感謝獻上為祭的便是榮耀我； 那按正路而行的，我必使他得着我的救恩。
