Ps 50

AA Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God the Lord, speaks and summons the earth from where the sun rises to where it sets. (LXX 49:1; Rahlfs 49:1) מִזְמ֗וֹר לְאָ֫סָ֥ף אֵ֤ל ׀ אֱֽלֹהִ֡ים יְֽהוָ֗ה דִּבֶּ֥ר וַיִּקְרָא־אָ֑רֶץ מִמִּזְרַח־שֶׁ֝֗מֶשׁ עַד־מְבֹאֽוֹ׃ 2From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth. (LXX 49:2; Rahlfs 49:2) מִצִּיּ֥וֹן מִכְלַל־יֹ֗פִי אֱלֹהִ֥ים הוֹפִֽיעַ׃ 3Our God approaches and will not be silent! Consuming fire precedes Him, and a tempest rages around Him. (LXX 49:3; Rahlfs 49:3) יָ֤בֹ֥א אֱלֹהֵ֗ינוּ וְֽאַל־יֶ֫חֱרַ֥שׁ אֵשׁ־לְפָנָ֥יו תֹּאכֵ֑ל וּ֝סְבִיבָ֗יו נִשְׂעֲרָ֥ה מְאֹֽד׃ 4He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that He may judge His people: (LXX 49:4; Rahlfs 49:4) יִקְרָ֣א אֶל־הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם מֵעָ֑ל וְאֶל־הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ לָדִ֥ין עַמּֽוֹ׃ 5“Gather to Me My saints, who made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.” (LXX 49:5; Rahlfs 49:5) אִסְפוּ־לִ֥י חֲסִידָ֑י כֹּרְתֵ֖י בְרִיתִ֣י עֲלֵי־זָֽבַח׃ 6And the heavens proclaim His righteousness, for God Himself is Judge. Selah (LXX 49:6; Rahlfs 49:6) וַיַּגִּ֣ידוּ שָׁמַ֣יִם צִדְק֑וֹ כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִ֓ים ׀ שֹׁפֵ֖ט ה֣וּא סֶֽלָה׃ 7“Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God. (LXX 49:7; Rahlfs 49:7) שִׁמְעָ֤ה עַמִּ֨י ׀ וַאֲדַבֵּ֗רָה יִ֭שְׂרָאֵל וְאָעִ֣ידָה בָּ֑ךְ אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֱלֹהֶ֣יךָ אָנֹֽכִי׃ 8I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices, and your burnt offerings are ever before Me. (LXX 49:8; Rahlfs 49:8) לֹ֣א עַל־זְ֭בָחֶיךָ אוֹכִיחֶ֑ךָ וְעוֹלֹתֶ֖יךָ לְנֶגְדִּ֣י תָמִֽיד׃ 9I have no need for a bull from your stall or goats from your pens, (LXX 49:9; Rahlfs 49:9) לֹא־אֶקַּ֣ח מִבֵּיתְךָ֣ פָ֑ר מִ֝מִּכְלְאֹתֶ֗יךָ עַתּוּדִֽים׃ 10for every beast of the forest is Mine—the cattle on a thousand hills. (LXX 49:10; Rahlfs 49:10) כִּי־לִ֥י כָל־חַיְתוֹ־יָ֑עַר בְּ֝הֵמ֗וֹת בְּהַרְרֵי־אָֽלֶף׃ 11I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are Mine. (LXX 49:11; Rahlfs 49:11) יָ֭דַעְתִּי כָּל־ע֣וֹף הָרִ֑ים וְזִ֥יז שָׂ֝דַ֗י עִמָּדִֽי׃ 12If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is Mine, and the fullness thereof. (LXX 49:12; Rahlfs 49:12) אִם־אֶ֭רְעַב לֹא־אֹ֣מַר לָ֑ךְ כִּי־לִ֥י תֵ֝בֵ֗ל וּמְלֹאָֽהּ׃ 13Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? (LXX 49:13; Rahlfs 49:13) הַֽ֭אוֹכַל בְּשַׂ֣ר אַבִּירִ֑ים וְדַ֖ם עַתּוּדִ֣ים אֶשְׁתֶּֽה׃ 14Sacrifice a thank offering to God, and fulfill your vows to the Most High. (LXX 49:14; Rahlfs 49:14) זְבַ֣ח לֵאלֹהִ֣ים תּוֹדָ֑ה וְשַׁלֵּ֖ם לְעֶלְי֣וֹן נְדָרֶֽיךָ׃ 15Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me.” (LXX 49:15; Rahlfs 49:15) וּ֭קְרָאֵנִי בְּי֣וֹם צָרָ֑ה אֲ֝חַלֶּצְךָ֗ וּֽתְכַבְּדֵֽנִי׃ 16To the wicked, however, God says, “What right have you to recite My statutes and to bear My covenant on your lips? (LXX 49:16; Rahlfs 49:16) וְלָ֤רָשָׁ֨ע ׀ אָ֘מַ֤ר אֱלֹהִ֗ים מַה־לְּ֭ךָ לְסַפֵּ֣ר חֻקָּ֑י וַתִּשָּׂ֖א בְרִיתִ֣י עֲלֵי־פִֽיךָ׃ 17For you hate My instruction and cast My words behind you. (LXX 49:17; Rahlfs 49:17) וְ֭אַתָּה שָׂנֵ֣אתָ מוּסָ֑ר וַתַּשְׁלֵ֖ךְ דְּבָרַ֣י אַחֲרֶֽיךָ׃ 18When you see a thief, you befriend him, and throw in your lot with adulterers. (LXX 49:18; Rahlfs 49:18) אִם־רָאִ֣יתָ גַ֭נָּב וַתִּ֣רֶץ עִמּ֑וֹ וְעִ֖ם מְנָאֲפִ֣ים חֶלְקֶֽךָ׃ 19You unleash your mouth for evil and harness your tongue to deceit. (LXX 49:19; Rahlfs 49:19) פִּ֭יךָ שָׁלַ֣חְתָּ בְרָעָ֑ה וּ֝לְשׁוֹנְךָ֗ תַּצְמִ֥יד מִרְמָֽה׃ 20You sit and malign your brother; you slander your own mother’s son. (LXX 49:20; Rahlfs 49:20) תֵּ֭שֵׁב בְּאָחִ֣יךָ תְדַבֵּ֑ר בְּבֶֽן־אִ֝מְּךָ֗ תִּתֶּן־דֹּֽפִי׃ 21You have done these things, and I kept silent; you thought I was just like you. But now I rebuke you and accuse you to your face. (LXX 49:21; Rahlfs 49:21) אֵ֤לֶּה עָשִׂ֨יתָ ׀ וְֽהֶחֱרַ֗שְׁתִּי דִּמִּ֗יתָ הֱֽיוֹת־אֶֽהְיֶ֥ה כָמ֑וֹךָ אוֹכִיחֲךָ֖ וְאֶֽעֶרְכָ֣ה לְעֵינֶֽיךָ׃ 22Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you: (LXX 49:22; Rahlfs 49:22) בִּֽינוּ־נָ֣א זֹ֭את שֹׁכְחֵ֣י אֱל֑וֹהַּ פֶּן־אֶ֝טְרֹ֗ף וְאֵ֣ין מַצִּֽיל׃ 23He who sacrifices a thank offering honors Me, and to him who rightly orders his way, I will show the salvation of God.” (LXX 49:23; Rahlfs 49:23) זֹבֵ֥חַ תּוֹדָ֗ה יְֽכַ֫בְּדָ֥נְנִי וְשָׂ֥ם דֶּ֑רֶךְ אַ֝רְאֶ֗נּוּ בְּיֵ֣שַׁע אֱלֹהִֽים׃
