Psalmorum 50
1 psalmus Asaph Deus deorum Dominus locutus est et vocavit terram a solis ortu usque ad occasum
A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from where the sun rises to where it sets.
2 ex Sion species decoris eius
From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth.
3 Deus manifeste veniet Deus noster et non silebit ignis in conspectu eius exardescet et in circuitu eius tempestas valida
Our God approaches and will not be silent! Consuming fire precedes Him, and a tempest rages around Him.
4 advocabit caelum desursum et terram discernere populum suum
He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that He may judge His people:
5 congregate illi sanctos eius qui ordinant testamentum eius super sacrificia
“Gather to Me My saints, who made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”
6 et adnuntiabunt caeli iustitiam eius quoniam Deus iudex est diapsalma
And the heavens proclaim His righteousness, for God Himself is Judge.
7 audi populus meus et loquar tibi Israhel et testificabor tibi Deus Deus tuus ego sum
“Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God.
8 non in sacrificiis tuis arguam te holocausta autem tua in conspectu meo sunt semper
I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices, and your burnt offerings are ever before Me.
9 non accipiam de domo tua vitulos neque de gregibus tuis hircos
I have no need for a bull from your stall or goats from your pens,
10 quoniam meae sunt omnes ferae silvarum iumenta in montibus et boves
for every beast of the forest is Mine— the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 cognovi omnia volatilia caeli et pulchritudo agri mecum est
I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are Mine.
12 si esuriero non dicam tibi meus est enim orbis terrae et plenitudo eius
If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is Mine, and the fullness thereof.
13 numquid manducabo carnes taurorum aut sanguinem hircorum potabo
Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14 immola Deo sacrificium laudis et redde Altissimo vota tua
Sacrifice a thank offering to God, and fulfill your vows to the Most High.
15 et invoca me in die tribulationis et eruam te et honorificabis me diapsalma
Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me.”
16 peccatori autem dixit Deus quare tu enarras iustitias meas et adsumis testamentum meum per os tuum
To the wicked, however, God says, “What right have you to recite My statutes and to bear My covenant on your lips?
17 tu vero odisti disciplinam et proiecisti sermones meos retrorsum
For you hate My instruction and cast My words behind you.
18 si videbas furem currebas cum eo et cum adulteris portionem tuam ponebas
When you see a thief, you befriend him, and throw in your lot with adulterers.
19 os tuum abundavit malitia et lingua tua concinnabat dolos
You unleash your mouth for evil and unharness your tongue for deceit.
20 sedens adversus fratrem tuum loquebaris et adversus filium matris tuae ponebas scandalum
You sit and malign your brother; you slander your own mother’s son.
21 haec fecisti et tacui existimasti inique quod ero tui similis arguam te et statuam contra faciem tuam
You 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.
22 intellegite nunc haec qui obliviscimini Deum nequando rapiat et non sit qui eripiat
Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you:
23 sacrificium laudis honorificabit me et illic iter quod ostendam illi salutare Dei
He who sacrifices a thank offering honors Me, and to him who rights his way, I will show the salvation of God.”
