Psalmorum 50
1 Psalmus Asaph. Deus deorum Dominus locutus est: et vocavit terram, A solis ortu usque ad occasum:
A psalm for Asaph. The God of gods, the Lord hath spoken: and he hath called the earth. From the rising of the sun, to the going down thereof:
2 ex Sion species decoris eius.
Out of Sion the loveliness of his beauty.
3 Deus manifeste veniet: Deus noster et non silebit. Ignis in conspectu eius exardescet: et in circuitu eius tempestas valida.
God shall come manifestly: our God shall come, and shall not keep silence. A fire shall burn before him: and a mighty tempest shall be round about him.
4 Advocabit cælum desursum: et terram discernere populum suum.
He shall call heaven from above, and the earth, to judge his people.
5 Congregate illi sanctos eius: qui ordinant testamentum eius super sacrificia.
Gather ye together his saints to him: who set his covenant before sacrifices.
6 Et annunciabunt cæli iustitiam eius: quoniam Deus iudex est.
And the heavens shall declare his justice: for God is judge.
7 Audi populus meus, et loquar: Israel, et testificabor tibi: Deus, Deus tuus ego sum.
Hear, O my people, and I will speak: O Israel, and I will testify to thee: I am God, thy God.
8 Non in sacrificiis tuis arguam te: holocausta autem tua in conspectu meo sunt semper.
I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices: and thy burnt offerings are always in my sight.
9 Non accipiam de domo tua vitulos: neque de gregibus tuis hircos.
I will not take calves out of thy house: nor he goats out of thy flocks.
10 Quoniam meæ sunt omnes feræ silvarum, iumenta in montibus et boves.
For all the beasts of the woods are mine: the cattle on the hills, and the oxen.
11 Cognovi omnia volatilia cæli: et pulchritudo agri mecum est.
I know all the fowls of the air: and with me is the beauty of the field.
12 Si esuriero, non dicam tibi: meus est enim orbis terræ, et plenitudo eius.
If I should be hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
13 Numquid manducabo carnes taurorum? aut sanguinem hircorum potabo?
Shall I eat the flesh of bullocks? or shall I drink the blood of goats?
14 Immola Deo sacrificium laudis: et redde Altissimo vota tua.
Offer to God the sacrifice of praise: and pay thy vows to the most High.
15 Et invoca me in die tribulationis: eruam te, et honorificabis me.
And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
16 Peccatori autem dixit Deus: Quare tu enarras iustitias meas, et assumis testamentum meum per os tuum?
But to the sinner God hath said: Why dost thou declare my justices, and take my covenant in thy mouth?
17 Tu vero odisti disciplinam: et proiecisti sermones meos retrorsum:
Seeing thou hast hated discipline: and hast cast my words behind thee.
18 Si videbas furem, currebas cum eo: et cum adulteris portionem tuam ponebas.
If thou didst see a thief thou didst run with him: and with adulterers thou hast been a partaker.
19 Os tuum abundavit malitia: et lingua tua concinnabat dolos.
Thy mouth hath abounded with evil, and thy tongue framed deceits.
20 Sedens adversus fratrem tuum loquebaris, et adversus filium matris tuæ ponebas scandalum:
Sitting thou didst speak against thy brother, and didst lay a scandal against thy mother’s son:
21 hæc fecisti, et tacui. Existimasti inique quod ero tui similis: arguam te, et statuam contra faciem tuam.
These things hast thou done, and I was silent. Thou thoughtest unjustly that I should be like to thee: but I will reprove thee, and set before thy face.
22 Intelligite hæc qui obliviscimini Deum: nequando rapiat, et non sit qui eripiat.
Understand these things, you that forget God; lest he snatch you away, and there be none to deliver you.
23 Sacrificium laudis honorificabit me: et illic iter, quo ostendam illi salutare Dei.
The sacrifice of praise shall glorify me: and there is the way by which I will shew him the salvation of God.
