Psalmorum 50
1 Psalmus Asaph. Deus deorum Dominus locutus est: et vocavit terram, A solis ortu usque ad occasum:
A PSALM OF ASAPH. The God of gods—YHWH—has spoken, And He calls to the earth From the rising of the sun to its going in.
2 ex Sion species decoris eius.
From Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shone.
3 Deus manifeste veniet: Deus noster et non silebit. Ignis in conspectu eius exardescet: et in circuitu eius tempestas valida.
Our God comes, and is not silent, Fire devours before Him, And around Him it has been very tempestuous.
4 Advocavit caelum desursum: et terram discernere populum suum.
He calls to the heavens from above, And to the earth, to judge His people.
5 Congregate illi sanctos eius: qui ordinant testamentum eius super sacrificia.
Gather My saints to Me, Making covenant with Me over a sacrifice.
6 Et annunciabunt caeli iustitiam eius: quoniam Deus iudex est.
And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself is judging. (Selah)
7 Audi populus meus, et loquar Israel, et testificabor tibi: Deus Deus tuus ego sum.
Hear, O My people, and I speak, O Israel, and I testify against you, God—I [am] your God.
8 Non in sacrificiis tuis arguam te: holocausta autem tua in conspectu meo sunt semper.
I do not reprove you for your sacrifices, Indeed, your burnt-offerings [Are] continually before Me.
9 Non accipiam de domo tua vitulos: neque de gregibus tuis hircos.
I do not take a bullock from your house, [Or] male goats from your folds.
10 Quoniam meae sunt omnes ferae silvarum, iumenta in montibus et boves.
For every beast of the forest [is] Mine, The livestock on the hills of oxen.
11 Cognovi omnia volatilia caeli: et pulchritudo agri mecum est.
I have known every bird of the mountains, And the wild beast of the field [is] with Me.
12 Si esuriero, non dicam tibi: meus est enim orbis terrae, et plenitudo eius.
If I am hungry I do not tell [it] to you, For the world and its fullness [is] Mine.
13 Numquid manducabo carnes taurorum? aut sanguinem hircorum potabo?
Do I eat the flesh of bulls, And drink the blood of male goats?
14 Immola Deo sacrificium laudis: et redde Altissimo vota tua.
Sacrifice to God confession, And complete your vows to the Most High.
15 Et invoca me in die tribulationis: eruam te, et honorificabis me.
And call Me in a day of adversity, I deliver you, and you honor Me.
16 Peccatori autem dixit Deus: Quare tu enarras iustitias meas, et assumis testamentum meum per os tuum?
And to the wicked God has said: What to you—to recount My statutes? That you lift up My covenant on your mouth?
17 Tu vero odisti disciplinam: et proiecisti sermones meos retrorsum:
Indeed, you have hated instruction, And cast My words behind you.
18 Si videbas furem, currebas cum eo: et cum adulteris portionem tuam ponebas.
If you have seen a thief, Then you are pleased with him, And your portion [is] with adulterers.
19 Os tuum abundavit malitia: et lingua tua concinnabat dolos.
You have sent forth your mouth with evil, And your tongue joins deceit together,
20 Sedens adversus fratrem tuum loquebaris, et adversus filium matris tuae ponebas scandalum:
You sit, you speak against your brother, You give slander against a son of your mother.
21 haec fecisti, et tacui. Existimasti inique quod ero tui similis: arguam te, et statuam contra faciem tuam.
These you did, and I kept silent, You have thought that I am like you, I reprove you, and set in array before your eyes.
22 Intelligite haec qui obliviscimini Deum: nequando rapiat, et non sit qui eripiat.
Now understand this, You who are forgetting God, Lest I tear, and there is no deliverer.
23 Sacrificium laudis honorificabit me: et illic iter, quo ostendam illi salutare Dei.
He who is sacrificing praise honors Me, As for him who makes a way, I cause him to look on the salvation of God!
