Psalms 50

NEW JERUSALEM	STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 [Psalm Of Asaph] The God of gods, Yahweh, is speaking, from east to west he summons the earth.	1 מִזְמֹור לְאָסָף אֵל ׀ אֱ‍לֹהִים יְהוָה דִּבֶּר וַיִּקְרָא־אָרֶץ מִמִּזְרַחשֶׁ־מֶשׁ עַד־מְבֹאֹו
2 From Zion, perfection of beauty, he shines forth;	2 מִצִּיֹּון מִכְלַל־יֹפִי אֱלֹהִים הֹופִיעַ
3 he is coming, our God, and wil not be silent. Devouring fire ahead of him, raging tempest around him,	3 יָבֹא אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְאַל־יֶחֱרַשׁ אֵשׁ־לְפָנָיו תֹּאכֵל וּסְבִיבָיו נִשְׂעֲרָה מְאֹד
4 he summons the heavens from on high, and the earth to judge his people.	4 יִקְרָא אֶל־הַשָּׁמַיִם מֵעָל וְאֶל־הָאָרֶץ לָדִין עַמֹּו
5 'Gather to me my faithful, who sealed my covenant by sacrifice.'	5 אִסְפוּ־לִי חֲסִידָי כֹּרְתֵי בְרִיתִי עֲלֵי־זָבַח
6 The heavens proclaim his saving justice, 'God himself is judge.'Pause	6 וַיַּגִּידוּ שָׁמַיִם צִדְקֹו כִּי־אֱלֹהִים ׀ שֹׁפֵט הוּא סֶלָה
7 'Listen, my people, I am speaking, Israel, I am giving evidence against you, I, God, your God.	7 שִׁמְעָה עַמִּי ׀ וַאֲדַבֵּרָה יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאָעִידָה בָּךְ אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֶיךָ אָנֹכִי
8 'It is not with your sacrifices that I find fault, those burnt offerings constantly before me;	8 לֹא עַל־זְבָחֶיךָ אֹוכִיחֶךָ וְעֹולֹתֶיךָ לְנֶגְדִּי תָמִיד
9 I will not accept any bul from your homes, nor a single goat from your folds.	9 לֹא־אֶקַּח מִבֵּיתְךָ פָר מִמִּכְלְאֹתֶיךָ עַתּוּדִים
10 'For all forest creatures are mine already, the animals on the mountains in their thousands.	10 כִּי־לִי כָל־חַיְתֹו־יָעַר בְּהֵמֹות בְּהַרְרֵי־אָלֶף
11 I know every bird in the air, whatever moves in the fields is mine.	11 יָדַעְתִּי כָּל־עֹוף הָרִים וְזִיז דַי עִמָּדִי
12 'If I am hungry I shall not tel you, since the world and all it holds is mine.	12 אִם־אֶרְעַב לֹא־אֹמַר לָךְ כִּי־לִי תֵבֵל וּמְלֹאָהּ
13 Am I to eat the flesh of bul s or drink the blood of goats?	13 הַאֹוכַל בְּשַׂר אַבִּירִים וְדַם עַתּוּדִים אֶשְׁתֶּה
14 'Let thanksgiving be your sacrifice to God, fulfil the vows you make to the Most High;	14 זְבַח לֵאלֹהִים תֹּודָה וְשַׁלֵּם לְעֶלְיֹון נְדָרֶיךָ
15 then if you call to me in time of trouble I wil rescue you and you wil honour me.'	15 וּקְרָאֵנִי בְּיֹום צָרָה אֲחַלֶּצְךָ וּתְכַבְּדֵנִי
16 But to the wicked, God says: 'What right have you to recite my statutes, to take my covenant on yourlips,	16 וְלָרָשָׁע ׀ אָמַר אֱלֹהִים מַה־לְּךָ לְסַפֵּר חֻקָּי וַתִּשָּׂא בְרִיתִי עֲלֵי־פִיךָ
17 when you detest my teaching, and thrust my words behind you?	17 וְאַתָּה שָׂנֵאתָ מוּסָר וַתַּשְׁלֵךְ דְּבָרַי אַחֲרֶיךָ
18 'You make friends with a thief as soon as you see one, you feel at home with adulterers,	18 אִם־רָאִיתָ גַנָּב וַתִּרֶץ עִמֹּו וְעִם מְנָאֲפִים חֶלְקֶךָ
19 your conversation is devoted to wickedness, and your tongue to inventing lies.	19 פִּיךָ שָׁלַחְתָּ בְרָעָה וּלְשֹׁונְךָ תַּצְמִיד מִרְמָה
20 'You sit there, slandering your own brother, you malign your own mother's son.	20 תֵּשֵׁב בְּאָחִיךָ תְדַבֵּר בְּבֶן־אִמְּךָ תִּתֶּן־דֹּפִי
21 You do this, and am I to say nothing? Do you think that I am really like you? I charge you, indict youto your face.	21 אֵלֶּה עָשִׂיתָ ׀ וְהֶחֱרַשְׁתִּי דִּמִּיתָ הֱיֹות־אֶהְיֶה כָמֹוךָ אֹוכִיחֲךָ וְאֶעֶרְכָה לְעֵינֶיךָ
22 'Think it out, you who forget God, or I wil tear you apart without hope of a rescuer.	22 בִּינוּ־נָא זֹאת שֹׁכְחֵי אֱלֹוהַּ פֶּן־אֶטְרֹף וְאֵין מַצִּיל
23 Honour to me is a sacrifice of thanksgiving; to the upright I wil show God's salvation.'	23 זֹבֵחַ תֹּודָה יְכַבְּדָנְנִי וְשָׂם דֶּרֶךְ אַרְאֶנּוּ בְּיֵשַׁע אֱלֹהִים
