< תהילים 50 >

מזמור לאסף אל אלהים יהוה-- דבר ויקרא-ארץ ממזרח-שמש עד-מבאו 1
A Psalm. Of Asaph. The God of gods, even the Lord, has sent out his voice, and the earth is full of fear; from the coming up of the sun to its going down.
מציון מכלל-יפי-- אלהים הופיע 2
From Zion, most beautiful of places, God has sent out his light.
יבא אלהינו ואל-יחרש אש-לפניו תאכל וסביביו נשערה מאד 3
Our God will come, and will not keep quiet; with fire burning before him, and storm-winds round him.
יקרא אל-השמים מעל ואל-הארץ לדין עמו 4
His voice will go out to the heavens and to the earth, for the judging of his people:
אספו-לי חסידי-- כרתי בריתי עלי-זבח 5
Let my saints come together to me; those who have made an agreement with me by offerings.
ויגידו שמים צדקו כי-אלהים שפט הוא סלה 6
And let the heavens make clear his righteousness; for God himself is the judge. (Selah)
שמעה עמי ואדברה-- ישראל ואעידה בך אלהים אלהיך אנכי 7
Give ear, O my people, to my words; O Israel, I will be a witness against you; I am God, even your God.
לא על-זבחיך אוכיחך ועולתיך לנגדי תמיד 8
I will not take up a cause against you because of your offerings, or because of your burned offerings, which are ever before me.
לא-אקח מביתך פר ממכלאתיך עתודים 9
I will take no ox out of your house, or he-goats from your flocks;
כי-לי כל-חיתו-יער בהמות בהררי-אלף 10
For every beast of the woodland is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.
ידעתי כל-עוף הרים וזיז שדי עמדי 11
I see all the birds of the mountains, and the beasts of the field are mine.
אם-ארעב לא-אמר לך כי-לי תבל ומלאה 12
If I had need of food, I would not give you word of it; for the earth is mine and all its wealth.
האוכל בשר אבירים ודם עתודים אשתה 13
Am I to take the flesh of the ox for my food, or the blood of goats for my drink?
זבח לאלהים תודה ושלם לעליון נדריך 14
Make an offering of praise to God; keep the agreements which you have made with the Most High;
וקראני ביום צרה אחלצך ותכבדני 15
Let your voice come up to me in the day of trouble; I will be your saviour, so that you may give glory to me.
ולרשע אמר אלהים מה-לך לספר חקי ותשא בריתי עלי-פיך 16
But to the sinner, God says, What are you doing, talking of my laws, or taking the words of my agreement in your mouth?
ואתה שנאת מוסר ותשלך דברי אחריך 17
Seeing that you have no desire for my teaching, turning your back on my words.
אם-ראית גנב ותרץ עמו ועם מנאפים חלקך 18
When you saw a thief, you were in agreement with him, and you were joined with those who took other men's wives.
פיך שלחת ברעה ולשונך תצמיד מרמה 19
You have given your mouth to evil, your tongue to words of deceit.
תשב באחיך תדבר בבן-אמך תתן-דפי 20
You say evil of your brother; you make false statements against your mother's son.
אלה עשית והחרשתי-- דמית היות-אהיה כמוך אוכיחך ואערכה לעיניך 21
These things have you done, and I said nothing; it seemed to you that I was such a one as yourself; but I will make a protest against you, and put them in order before your eyes.
בינו-נא זאת שכחי אלוה פן-אטרף ואין מציל 22
Now keep this in mind, you who have no memory of God, for fear that you may be crushed under my hand, with no one to give you help:
זבח תודה יכבדנני ושם דרך--אראנו בישע אלהים 23
Whoever makes an offering of praise gives glory to me; and to him who is upright in his ways I will make clear the salvation of God.
