תהילים 50

1 מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָף אֵל ׀ אֱֽלֹהִים יְֽהֹוָה דִּבֶּר וַיִּקְרָא־אָרֶץ מִמִּזְרַח־שֶׁמֶשׁ עַד־מְבֹאֽוֹ׃

[A Psalm by Asaph.] The Mighty One, God, Jehovah, speaks, and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.

2 מִצִּיּוֹן מִכְלַל־יֹפִי אֱלֹהִים הוֹפִֽיעַ׃

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.

3 יָבֹא אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְֽאַל־יֶחֱרַשׁ אֵשׁ־לְפָנָיו תֹּאכֵל וּסְבִיבָיו נִשְׂעֲרָה מְאֹֽד׃

Our God comes, and does not keep silent. A fire devours before him. It is very stormy around him.

4 יִקְרָא אֶל־הַשָּׁמַיִם מֵעָל וְאֶל־הָאָרֶץ לָדִין עַמּֽוֹ׃

He calls to the heavens above, to the earth, that he may judge his people:

5 אִסְפוּ־לִי חֲסִידָי כֹּרְתֵי בְרִיתִי עֲלֵי־זָֽבַח׃

"Gather my faithful ones together to me, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice."

6 וַיַּגִּידוּ שָׁמַיִם צִדְקוֹ כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִים ׀ שֹׁפֵט הוּא סֶֽלָה׃

The heavens shall declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge. (Selah)

7 שִׁמְעָה עַמִּי ׀ וַאֲדַבֵּרָה יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאָעִידָה בָּךְ אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֶיךָ אָנֹֽכִי׃

"Hear, my people, and I will speak; Israel, and I will testify against you. I am God, your God.

8 לֹא עַל־זְבָחֶיךָ אוֹכִיחֶךָ וְעוֹלֹתֶיךָ לְנֶגְדִּי תָמִֽיד׃

I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices. Your burnt offerings are continually before me.

9 לֹא־אֶקַּח מִבֵּיתְךָ פָר מִמִּכְלְאֹתֶיךָ עַתּוּדִֽים׃

I have no need for a bull from your stall, nor male goats from your pens.

10 כִּי־לִי כׇל־חַיְתוֹ־יָעַר בְּהֵמוֹת בְּהַרְרֵי־אָֽלֶף׃

For every animal of the forest is mine, and the livestock on a thousand hills.

11 יָדַעְתִּי כׇּל־עוֹף הָרִים וְזִיז שָׂדַי עִמָּדִֽי׃

I know all the birds of the mountains. The wild animals of the field are mine.

12 אִם־אֶרְעַב לֹא־אֹמַר לָךְ כִּי־לִי תֵבֵל וּמְלֹאָֽהּ׃

If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.

13 הַאוֹכַל בְּשַׂר אַבִּירִים וְדַם עַתּוּדִים אֶשְׁתֶּֽה׃

Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

14 זְבַח לֵאלֹהִים תּוֹדָה וְשַׁלֵּם לְעֶלְיוֹן נְדָרֶֽיךָ׃

Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the Most High.

15 וּקְרָאֵנִי בְּיוֹם צָרָה אֲחַלֶּצְךָ וּֽתְכַבְּדֵֽנִי׃

Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me."

16 וְלָרָשָׁע ׀ אָמַר אֱלֹהִים מַה־לְּךָ לְסַפֵּר חֻקָּי וַתִּשָּׂא בְרִיתִי עֲלֵי־פִֽיךָ׃

But to the wicked God says, "What right do you have to declare my statutes, that you have taken my covenant on your lips,

17 וְאַתָּה שָׂנֵאתָ מוּסָר וַתַּשְׁלֵךְ דְּבָרַי אַחֲרֶֽיךָ׃

seeing you hate instruction, and throw my words behind you?

18 אִם־רָאִיתָ גַנָּב וַתִּרֶץ עִמּוֹ וְעִם מְנָאֲפִים חֶלְקֶֽךָ׃

When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have participated with adulterers.

19 פִּיךָ שָׁלַחְתָּ בְרָעָה וּלְשׁוֹנְךָ תַּצְמִיד מִרְמָֽה׃

"You give your mouth to evil. Your tongue frames deceit.

20 תֵּשֵׁב בְּאָחִיךָ תְדַבֵּר בְּבֶֽן־אִמְּךָ תִּתֶּן־דֹּֽפִי׃

You sit and speak against your brother. You slander your own mother's son.

21 אֵלֶּה עָשִׂיתָ ׀ וְֽהֶחֱרַשְׁתִּי דִּמִּיתָ הֱיֽוֹת־אֶהְיֶה כָמוֹךָ אוֹכִיחֲךָ וְאֶעֶרְכָה לְעֵינֶֽיךָ׃

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.

22 בִּינוּ־נָא זֹאת שֹׁכְחֵי אֱלוֹהַּ פֶּן־אֶטְרֹף וְאֵין מַצִּֽיל׃

"Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you into pieces, and there be none to deliver.

23 זֹבֵחַ תּוֹדָה יְֽכַבְּדָנְנִי וְשָׂם דֶּרֶךְ אַרְאֶנּוּ בְּיֵשַׁע אֱלֹהִֽים׃

Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me; and to him who orders his conduct I will show the salvation of God."
