תְהִלִּים 50

1 מִזְמֹ֗ור לְאָ֫סָ֥ף אֵ֤ל ׀ אֱ‍ֽלֹהִ֡ים יְֽהוָ֗ה דִּבֶּ֥ר וַיִּקְרָא־אָ֑רֶץ מִמִּזְרַח־שֶׁ֝֗מֶשׁ עַד־מְבֹאֹֽו׃

A Psalm for Asaph. The God of gods, the Lord, has spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun to the going down [thereof].

2 מִצִּיֹּ֥ון מִכְלַל־יֹ֗פִי אֱלֹהִ֥ים הֹופִֽיעַ׃

Out of Sion [comes] the excellence of his beauty.

3 יָ֤בֹ֥א אֱלֹהֵ֗ינוּ וְֽאַל־יֶ֫חֱרַ֥שׁ אֵשׁ־לְפָנָ֥יו תֹּאכֵ֑ל וּ֝סְבִיבָ֗יו נִשְׂעֲרָ֥ה מְאֹֽד׃

God, our God, shall come manifestly, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall be kindled before him, and round about him there shall be a very great tempest.

4 יִקְרָ֣א אֶל־הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם מֵעָ֑ל וְאֶל־הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ לָדִ֥ין עַמֹּֽו׃

He shall summon the heaven above, and the earth, that he may judge his people.

5 אִסְפוּ־לִ֥י חֲסִידָ֑י כֹּרְתֵ֖י בְרִיתִ֣י עֲלֵי־זָֽבַח׃

Assemble ye his saints to him, those that have engaged in a covenant with him upon sacrifices.

6 וַיַּגִּ֣ידוּ שָׁמַ֣יִם צִדְקֹ֑ו כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִ֓ים ׀ שֹׁפֵ֖ט ה֣וּא סֶֽלָה׃

And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge. (Pause)

7 שִׁמְעָ֤ה עַמִּ֨י ׀ וַאֲדַבֵּ֗רָה יִ֭שְׂרָאֵל וְאָעִ֣ידָה בָּ֑ךְ אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֱלֹהֶ֣יךָ אָנֹֽכִי׃

Hear, my people, and I will speak to thee, O Israel: and I will testify to thee: I am God, thy God.

8 לֹ֣א עַל־זְ֭בָחֶיךָ אֹוכִיחֶ֑ךָ וְעֹולֹתֶ֖יךָ לְנֶגְדִּ֣י תָמִֽיד׃

I will not reprove thee on account of thy sacrifices; for thy whole-burnt-offerings are before me continually.

9 לֹא־אֶקַּ֣ח מִבֵּיתְךָ֣ פָ֑ר מִ֝מִּכְלְאֹתֶ֗יךָ עַתּוּדִֽים׃

I will take no bullocks out of thine house, nor he-goats out of thy flocks.

10 כִּי־לִ֥י כָל־חַיְתֹו־יָ֑עַר בְּ֝הֵמֹ֗ות בְּהַרְרֵי־אָֽלֶף׃

For all the wild beasts of the thicket are mine, the cattle on the mountains, and oxen.

11 יָ֭דַעְתִּי כָּל־עֹ֣וף הָרִ֑ים וְזִ֥יז שָׂ֝דַ֗י עִמָּדִֽי׃

I know all the birds of the sky; and the beauty of the field is mine.

12 אִם־אֶ֭רְעַב לֹא־אֹ֣מַר לָ֑ךְ כִּי־לִ֥י תֵ֝בֵ֗ל וּמְלֹאָֽהּ׃

If I should be hungry, I will not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fullness of it.

13 הַֽ֭אֹוכַל בְּשַׂ֣ר אַבִּירִ֑ים וְדַ֖ם עַתּוּדִ֣ים אֶשְׁתֶּֽה׃

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

14 זְבַ֣ח לֵאלֹהִ֣ים תֹּודָ֑ה וְשַׁלֵּ֖ם לְעֶלְיֹ֣ון נְדָרֶֽיךָ׃

Offer to God the sacrifice of praise; and pay thy vows to the Most High.

15 וּ֭קְרָאֵנִי בְּיֹ֣ום צָרָ֑ה אֲ֝חַלֶּצְךָ֗ וּֽתְכַבְּדֵֽנִי׃

And call upon me in the day of affliction; and I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. (Pause)

16 וְלָ֤רָשָׁ֨ע ׀ אָ֘מַ֤ר אֱלֹהִ֗ים מַה־לְּ֭ךָ לְסַפֵּ֣ר חֻקָּ֑י וַתִּשָּׂ֖א בְרִיתִ֣י עֲלֵי־פִֽיךָ׃

But to the sinner God has said, Why dost thou declare my ordinances, and take up my covenant in thy mouth?

17 וְ֭אַתָּה שָׂנֵ֣אתָ מוּסָ֑ר וַתַּשְׁלֵ֖ךְ דְּבָרַ֣י אַחֲרֶֽיךָ׃

Whereas thou hast hated instruction, and hast cast my words behind [thee].

18 אִם־רָאִ֣יתָ גַ֭נָּב וַתִּ֣רֶץ עִמֹּ֑ו וְעִ֖ם מְנָאֲפִ֣ים חֶלְקֶֽךָ׃

If thou sawest a thief, thou rannest along with him, and hast cast in thy lot with adulterers.

19 פִּ֭יךָ שָׁלַ֣חְתָּ בְרָעָ֑ה וּ֝לְשֹׁונְךָ֗ תַּצְמִ֥יד מִרְמָֽה׃

Thy mouth has multiplied wickedness, and thy tongue has framed deceit.

20 תֵּ֭שֵׁב בְּאָחִ֣יךָ תְדַבֵּ֑ר בְּבֶֽן־אִ֝מְּךָ֗ תִּתֶּן־דֹּֽפִי׃

Thou didst sit and speak against thy brother, and didst scandalize thy mother's son.

21 אֵ֤לֶּה עָשִׂ֨יתָ ׀ וְֽהֶחֱרַ֗שְׁתִּי דִּמִּ֗יתָ הֱ‌ֽיֹות־אֶֽהְיֶ֥ה כָמֹ֑וךָ אֹוכִיחֲךָ֖ וְאֶֽעֶרְכָ֣ה לְעֵינֶֽיךָ׃

These things thou didst, and I kept silence: thou thoughtest wickedly that I should be like thee, [but] I will reprove thee, and set [thine offences] before thee.

22 בִּֽינוּ־נָ֣א זֹ֭את שֹׁכְחֵ֣י אֱלֹ֑והַּ פֶּן־אֶ֝טְרֹ֗ף וְאֵ֣ין מַצִּֽיל׃

Now consider these things, ye that forget God, lest he rend [you], and there is no deliverer.

23 זֹבֵ֥חַ תֹּודָ֗ה יְֽכַ֫בְּדָ֥נְנִי וְשָׂ֥ם דֶּ֑רֶךְ אַ֝רְאֶ֗נּוּ בְּיֵ֣שַׁע אֱלֹהִֽים׃

The sacrifice of praise will glorify me: and that is the way wherein I will shew to him the salvation of God.
