STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ ׀ לִבְנֵי־קֹרַח מִזְמֹור	1 A Psalm of Asaph. The God of gods, the Lord has spoken, and he has called the earth, from the rising of the sun even to its setting,
2 שִׁמְעוּ־זֹאת כָּל־הָעַמִּים הַאֲזִינוּ כָּל־יֹשְׁבֵי חָלֶד	2 from Zion, the brilliance of his beauty.
3 גַּם־בְּנֵי אָדָם גַּם־בְּנֵי־אִישׁ יַחַד עָשִׁיר וְאֶבְיֹון	3 God will arrive manifestly. Our God also will not keep silence. A fire will flare up in his sight, and a mighty tempest will surround him.
4 פִּי יְדַבֵּר חָכְמֹות וְהָגוּת לִבִּי תְבוּנֹות	4 He will call to heaven from above, and to the earth, to discern his people.
5 אַטֶּה לְמָשָׁל אָזְנִי אֶפְתַּח בְּכִנֹּור חִידָתִי	5 Gather his holy ones to him, you who order his covenant above sacrifices.
6 לָמָּה אִירָא בִּימֵי רָע עֲוֹן עֲקֵבַי יְסוּבֵּנִי	6 And the heavens will announce his justice. For God is the judge.
7 הַבֹּטְחִים עַל־חֵילָם וּבְרֹב עָשְׁרָם יִתְהַלָּלוּ	7 Listen, my people, and I will speak. Listen, Israel, and I will testify for you. I am God, your God.
8 אָח לֹא־פָדֹה יִפְדֶּה אִישׁ לֹא־יִתֵּן לֵאלֹהִים כָּפְרֹו	8 I will not reprove you for your sacrifices. Moreover, your holocausts are ever in my sight.
9 וְיֵקַר פִּדְיֹון נַפְשָׁם וְחָדַל לְעֹולָם	9 I will not accept calves from your house, nor he-goats from your flocks.
10 וִיחִי־עֹוד לָנֶצַח לֹא יִרְאֶה הַשָּׁחַת	10 For all the wild beasts of the forest are mine: the cattle on the hills and the oxen.
11 כִּי יִרְאֶה ׀ חֲכָמִים יָמוּתוּ יַחַד כְּסִיל וָבַעַר יֹאבֵדוּ וְעָזְבוּ לַאֲחֵרִים חֵילָם	11 I know all the flying things of the air, and the beauty of the field is with me.
12 קִרְבָּם בָּתֵּימֹו ׀ לְעֹולָם מִשְׁכְּנֹתָם לְדֹר וָדֹר קָרְאוּ בִשְׁמֹותָם עֲלֵי אֲדָמֹות	12 If I should be hungry, I would not tell you: for the whole world is mine, and all its plentitude.
13 וְאָדָם בִּיקָר בַּל־יָלִין נִמְשַׁל כַּבְּהֵמֹות נִדְמוּ	13 Shall I gnaw on the flesh of bulls? Or would I drink the blood of goats?
14 זֶה דַרְכָּם כֵּסֶל לָמֹו וְאַחֲרֵיהֶם ׀ בְּפִיהֶם יִרְצוּ סֶלָה	14 Offer to God the sacrifice of praise, and pay your vows to the Most High.
15 כַּצֹּאן ׀ לִשְׁאֹול שַׁתּוּ מָוֶת יִרְעֵם וַיִּרְדּוּ בָם יְשָׁרִים ׀ לַבֹּקֶר [וְצִירָם כ] (וְצוּרָם ק) לְבַלֹּות שְׁאֹול מִזְּבֻל לֹו	15 And call upon me in the day of tribulation. I will rescue you, and you will honor me.
16 אַךְ־אֱלֹהִים יִפְדֶּה נַפְשִׁי מִיַּד־שְׁאֹול כִּי יִקָּחֵנִי סֶלָה	16 But to the sinner, God has said: Why do you discourse on my justices, and take up my covenant through your mouth?
17 אַל־תִּירָא כִּי־יַעֲשִׁר אִישׁ כִּי־יִרְבֶּה כְּבֹוד בֵּיתֹו	17 Truly, you have hated discipline, and you have cast my sermons behind you.
18 כִּי לֹא בְמֹותֹו יִקַּח הַכֹּל לֹא־יֵרֵד אַחֲרָיו כְּבֹודֹו	18 If you saw a thief, you ran with him, and you have placed your portion with adulterers.
19 כִּי־נַפְשֹׁו בְּחַיָּיו יְבָרֵךְ וְיֹודֻךָ כִּי־תֵיטִיב לָךְ	19 Your mouth has abounded with malice, and your tongue has concocted deceits.
20 תָּבֹוא עַד־דֹּור אֲבֹותָיו עַד־נֵצַח לֹא יִרְאוּ־אֹור	20 Sitting, you spoke against your brother, and you set up a scandal against your mother’s son.
21 אָדָם בִּיקָר וְלֹא יָבִין נִמְשַׁל כַּבְּהֵמֹות נִדְמוּ	21 These things you have done, and I was silent. You thought, unjustly, that I ought to be like you. But I will reprove you, and I will set myself against your face.
22 כֹּה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה הִנֵּה אֶשָּׂא אֶל־גֹּויִם יָדִי וְאֶל־עַמִּים אָרִים נִסִּי וְהֵבִיאוּ בָנַיִךְ בְּחֹצֶן וּבְנֹתַיִךְ עַל־כָּתֵף תִּנָּשֶׂאנָה	22 Understand these things, you who forget God; lest at any time, he might quickly take you away, and there would be no one to rescue you.
23 וְהָיוּ מְלָכִים אֹמְנַיִךְ וְשָׂרֹותֵיהֶם מֵינִיקֹתַיִךְ אַפַּיִם אֶרֶץ יִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לָךְ וַעֲפַר רַגְלַיִךְ יְלַחֵכוּ וְיָדַעַתְּ כִּי־אֲנִי יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יֵבֹשׁוּ קֹוָי׃ ס	23 The sacrifice of praise will honor me. And in that place is the journey by which I will reveal to him the salvation of God.
24 הֲיֻקַּח מִגִּבֹּור מַלְקֹוחַ וְאִם־שְׁבִי צַדִּיק יִמָּלֵט
25 כִּי־כֹה ׀ אָמַר יְהוָה גַּם־שְׁבִי גִבֹּור יֻקָּח וּמַלְקֹוחַ עָרִיץ יִמָּלֵט וְאֶת־יְרִיבֵךְ אָנֹכִי אָרִיב וְאֶת־בָּנַיִךְ אָנֹכִי אֹושִׁיעַ
26 וְהַאֲכַלְתִּי אֶת־מֹונַיִךְ אֶת־בְּשָׂרָם וְכֶעָסִיס דָּמָם יִשְׁכָּרוּן וְיָדְעוּ כָל־בָּשָׂר כִּי אֲנִי יְהוָה מֹושִׁיעֵךְ וְגֹאֲלֵךְ אֲבִיר יַעֲקֹב׃ ס
