Psalms 50
1 A Psalm by Asaph. The Mighty One, God, the LORD, speaks, and calls the earth from sunrise to sunset.
ψαλμὸς τῷ Ασαφ θεὸς θεῶν κύριος ἐλάλησεν καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὴν γῆν ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν ἡλίου καὶ μέχρι δυσμῶν
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines out.
ἐκ Σιων ἡ εὐπρέπεια τῆς ὡραιότητος αὐτοῦ ὁ θεὸς ἐμφανῶς ἥξει
3 Our God comes, and does not keep silent. A fire devours before him. It is very stormy around him.
ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν καὶ οὐ παρασιωπήσεται πῦρ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ καυθήσεται καὶ κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ καταιγὶς σφόδρα
4 He calls to the heavens above, to the earth, that he may judge his people:
προσκαλέσεται τὸν οὐρανὸν ἄνω καὶ τὴν γῆν διακρῖναι τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ
5 “Gather my saints together to me, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”
συναγάγετε αὐτῷ τοὺς ὁσίους αὐτοῦ τοὺς διατιθεμένους τὴν διαθήκην αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ θυσίαις
6 The heavens shall declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge. (Selah)
καὶ ἀναγγελοῦσιν οἱ οὐρανοὶ τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ ὅτι ὁ θεὸς κριτής ἐστιν διάψαλμα
7 “Hear, my people, and I will speak. Israel, I will testify against you. I am God, your God.
ἄκουσον λαός μου καὶ λαλήσω σοι Ισραηλ καὶ διαμαρτύρομαί σοι ὁ θεὸς ὁ θεός σού εἰμι ἐγώ
8 I don’t rebuke you for your sacrifices. Your burnt offerings are continually before me.
οὐκ ἐπὶ ταῖς θυσίαις σου ἐλέγξω σε τὰ δὲ ὁλοκαυτώματά σου ἐνώπιόν μού ἐστιν διὰ παντός
9 I have no need for a bull from your stall, nor male goats from your pens.
οὐ δέξομαι ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου σου μόσχους οὐδὲ ἐκ τῶν ποιμνίων σου χιμάρους
10 For every animal of the forest is mine, and the livestock on a thousand hills.
ὅτι ἐμά ἐστιν πάντα τὰ θηρία τοῦ δρυμοῦ κτήνη ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσιν καὶ βόες
11 I know all the birds of the mountains. The wild animals of the field are mine.
ἔγνωκα πάντα τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ὡραιότης ἀγροῦ μετ’ ἐμοῦ ἐστιν
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.
ἐὰν πεινάσω οὐ μή σοι εἴπω ἐμὴ γάρ ἐστιν ἡ οἰκουμένη καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς
13 Will I eat the meat of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
μὴ φάγομαι κρέα ταύρων ἢ αἷμα τράγων πίομαι
14 Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the Most High.
θῦσον τῷ θεῷ θυσίαν αἰνέσεως καὶ ἀπόδος τῷ ὑψίστῳ τὰς εὐχάς σου
15 Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honour me.”
καὶ ἐπικάλεσαί με ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεως καὶ ἐξελοῦμαί σε καὶ δοξάσεις με διάψαλμα
16 But to the wicked God says, “What right do you have to declare my statutes, that you have taken my covenant on your lips,
τῷ δὲ ἁμαρτωλῷ εἶπεν ὁ θεός ἵνα τί σὺ διηγῇ τὰ δικαιώματά μου καὶ ἀναλαμβάνεις τὴν διαθήκην μου διὰ στόματός σου
17 since you hate instruction, and throw my words behind you?
σὺ δὲ ἐμίσησας παιδείαν καὶ ἐξέβαλες τοὺς λόγους μου εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω
18 When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have participated with adulterers.
εἰ ἐθεώρεις κλέπτην συνέτρεχες αὐτῷ καὶ μετὰ μοιχῶν τὴν μερίδα σου ἐτίθεις
19 “You give your mouth to evil. Your tongue frames deceit.
τὸ στόμα σου ἐπλεόνασεν κακίαν καὶ ἡ γλῶσσά σου περιέπλεκεν δολιότητα
20 You sit and speak against your brother. You slander your own mother’s son.
καθήμενος κατὰ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου κατελάλεις καὶ κατὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ τῆς μητρός σου ἐτίθεις σκάνδαλον
21 You have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that I was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.
ταῦτα ἐποίησας καὶ ἐσίγησα ὑπέλαβες ἀνομίαν ὅτι ἔσομαί σοι ὅμοιος ἐλέγξω σε καὶ παραστήσω κατὰ πρόσωπόν σου
22 “Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you into pieces, and there be no one to deliver.
σύνετε δὴ ταῦτα οἱ ἐπιλανθανόμενοι τοῦ θεοῦ μήποτε ἁρπάσῃ καὶ μὴ ᾖ ὁ ῥυόμενος
23 Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me, and prepares his way so that I will show God’s salvation to him.”
θυσία αἰνέσεως δοξάσει με καὶ ἐκεῖ ὁδός ᾗ δείξω αὐτῷ τὸ σωτήριον τοῦ θεοῦ
