Psalmorum 50
1 Psalmus Asaph. [Deus deorum Dominus locutus est, et vocavit terram a solis ortu usque ad occasum.
A Psalm. Of Asaph. God, Elohim-Jehovah, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
2 Ex Sion species decoris ejus:
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth.
3 Deus manifeste veniet; Deus noster, et non silebit. Ignis in conspectu ejus exardescet; et in circuitu ejus tempestas valida.
Our God will come, and will not keep silence: fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
4 Advocabit cælum desursum, et terram, discernere populum suum.
He will call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people:
5 Congregate illi sanctos ejus, qui ordinant testamentum ejus super sacrificia.
Gather unto me my godly ones, those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice!
6 Et annuntiabunt cæli justitiam ejus, quoniam Deus judex est.
And the heavens shall declare his righteousness; for God executeth judgment himself. (Selah)
7 Audi, populus meus, et loquar; Israël, et testificabor tibi: Deus, Deus tuus ego sum.
Hear, my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto 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, or thy burnt-offerings, continually before me;
9 Non accipiam de domo tua vitulos, neque de gregibus tuis hircos:
I will take no bullock out of thy house, [nor] he-goats out of thy folds:
10 quoniam meæ sunt omnes feræ silvarum, jumenta in montibus, et boves.
For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle upon a thousand hills;
11 Cognovi omnia volatilia cæli, et pulchritudo agri mecum est.
I know all the fowl of the mountains, and the roaming creatures of the field are mine:
12 Si esuriero, non dicam tibi: meus est enim orbis terræ et plenitudo ejus.
If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
13 Numquid manducabo carnes taurorum? aut sanguinem hircorum potabo?
Should I eat the flesh of bulls, and drink the blood of goats?
14 Immola Deo sacrificium laudis, et redde Altissimo vota tua.
Offer unto God thanksgiving, and perform thy vows unto 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 justitias meas? et assumis testamentum meum per os tuum?
But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant into thy mouth,
17 Tu vero odisti disciplinam, et projecisti sermones meos retrorsum.
Seeing thou hast hated correction and hast cast my words behind thee?
18 Si videbas furem, currebas cum eo; et cum adulteris portionem tuam ponebas.
When thou sawest a thief, thou didst take pleasure in him, and thy portion was with adulterers;
19 Os tuum abundavit malitia, et lingua tua concinnabat dolos.
Thou lettest thy mouth loose to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit;
20 Sedens adversus fratrem tuum loquebaris, et adversus filium matris tuæ ponebas scandalum.
Thou sittest [and] speakest against thy brother, thou revilest thine own 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 kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether as thyself: [but] I will reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine eyes.
22 Intelligite hæc, qui obliviscimini Deum, nequando rapiat, et non sit qui eripiat.
Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear in pieces, and there be no deliverer.
23 Sacrificium laudis honorificabit me, et illic iter quo ostendam illi salutare Dei.]
Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me; and to him that ordereth [his] way will I shew the salvation of God.
