תהילים 50

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

A Psalm of Asaph. The God of gods — Jehovah — hath spoken, And He calleth to the earth From the rising of the sun unto its going in.

2 מִצִיּוֹן מִכְלַל־יֹפִי אֱלֹהִים הוֹפִֽיעַ׃

From Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shone.

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

Our God cometh, and is not silent, Fire before Him doth devour, And round about him it hath been very tempestuous.

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

He doth call unto the heavens from above, And unto the earth, to judge His people.

5 אִסְפוּ־לִי חֲסִידָי כֹּרְתֵי בְרִיתִי עֲלֵי־זָֽבַח׃

Gather ye to Me My saints, Making covenant with Me over a sacrifice.

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

And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself [is] judge. (Selah)

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

Hear, O My people, and I speak, O Israel, and I testify against thee, God, thy God [am] I.

8 לֹא עַל־זְבָחֶיךָ אוֹכִיחֶךָ וְעוֹלֹתֶיךָ לְנֶגְדִּי תָמִֽיד׃

Not for thy sacrifices do I reprove thee, Yea, thy burnt-offerings [Are] before Me continually.

9 לֹא־אֶקַּח מִבֵּיתְךָ פָר מִמִּכְלְאֹתֶיךָ עַתּוּדִֽים׃

I take not from thy house a bullock, From thy folds he goats.

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

For Mine [is] every beast of the forest, The cattle on the hills of oxen.

11 יָדַעְתִּי כָּל־עוֹף הָרִים וְזִיז שָׂדַי עִמָּדִֽי׃

I have known every fowl of the mountains, And the wild beast of the field [is] with Me.

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

If I am hungry I tell not to thee, For Mine [is] the world and its fulness.

13 הַֽאוֹכַל בְּשַׂר אַבִּירִים וְדַם עַתּוּדִים אֶשְׁתֶּֽה׃

Do I eat the flesh of bulls, And drink the blood of he-goats?

14 זְבַח לֵאלֹהִים תּוֹדָה וְשַׁלֵּם לְעֶלְיוֹן נְדָרֶֽיךָ׃

Sacrifice to God confession, And complete to the Most High thy vows.

15 וּקְרָאֵנִי בְּיוֹם צָרָה אֲחַלֶּצְךָ וּֽתְכַבְּדֵֽנִי׃

And call Me in a day of adversity, I deliver thee, and thou honourest Me.

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

And to the wicked hath God said: What to thee — to recount My statutes? That thou liftest up My covenant on thy mouth?

17 וְאַתָּה שָׂנֵאתָ מוּסָר וַתַּשְׁלֵךְ דְּבָרַי אַחֲרֶֽיךָ׃

Yea, thou hast hated instruction, And dost cast My words behind thee.

18 אִם־רָאִיתָ גַנָּב וַתִּרֶץ עִמּוֹ וְעִם מְנָאֲפִים חֶלְקֶֽךָ׃

If thou hast seen a thief, Then thou art pleased with him, And with adulterers [is] thy portion.

19 פִּיךָ שָׁלַחְתָּ בְרָעָה וּלְשׁוֹנְךָ תַּצְמִיד מִרְמָֽה׃

Thy mouth thou hast sent forth with evil, And thy tongue joineth deceit together,

20 תֵּשֵׁב בְּאָחִיךָ תְדַבֵּר בְּבֶֽן־אִמְּךָ תִּתֶּן־דֹּֽפִי׃

Thou sittest, against thy brother thou speakest, Against a son of thy mother givest slander.

21 אֵלֶּה עָשִׂיתָ ׀ וְֽהֶחֱרַשְׁתִּי דִּמִּיתָ הֱֽיוֹת־אֶֽהְיֶה כָמוֹךָ אוֹכִיחֲךָ וְאֶֽעֶרְכָה לְעֵינֶֽיךָ׃

These thou didst, and I kept silent, Thou hast thought that I am like thee, I reprove thee, and set in array before thine eyes.

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

Understand this, I pray you, Ye who are forgetting God, Lest I tear, and there is no deliverer.

23 זֹבֵחַ תּוֹדָה יְֽכַבְּדָנְנִי וְשָׂם דֶּרֶךְ אַרְאֶנּוּ בְּיֵשַׁע אֱלֹהִֽים׃

He who is sacrificing praise honoureth Me, As to him who maketh a way, I cause him to look on the salvation of God!
