50:1
A song of Asaph.
God of Gods, Yahweh speaks,
And he calls the earth,
From the rising of the sun until its setting.
50:2
From Zion and from perfection of beauty,
God causes to shine out.
50:3
Let our God come
And not be silent
A fire consumes before him,
And she is exceedingly tempestuous around him.
50:4
And he calls to the heavens from above
And to the earth to judge his people.
50:5
My faithful ones gather to me,
Cutters of my covenant,
By means of a sacrifice.
50:6
The heavens declare his righteousness
For God, he is judging.
Selah.
50:7
Hear, my people.
And I will speak, O Israel,
And I will testify to you (fs),
I am God, your God.
50:8
Not on account of your sacrifices do I rebuke you (s)
And your whole burnt offerings before me continuously.
50:9
I will not receive from your house a steer,
Billy goats from your pens/enclosures.
50:10
For belonging to me [are] all living things of the forest,
beasts on a thousand hills.
50:11
I know every bird of the mountains,
And the moving things of the fields are with me.
50:12
If I were hungry, I would not say to you,
Because belonging to me is the world and its fullness.
50:13
[I am] the one who eats the flesh of the valiant
And I drink the blood of billy goats.
50:14
Sacrifice to God with thanksgiving,
And repay to the most high your vows.
50:15
And call to me in the day of distress,
And I will deliver you
And you will glorify me.
50:16
And to the wicked God says,
Why do you recount my statutes
And lift up my covenant upon your mouth?
50:17
And you, you hate punishment/chastisement,
And you throw away my word behind you.
50:18
If you see a thief
And you are pleased with him,
And with adulterers your portion.
50:19
Your mouth sends out evil
And your tongue contrives treachery.
50:20
You dwell with your brothers,
You speak with a son of your mother
To attribute fault.
50:21
These things you do, and I am silent,
You think I am like you,
I will rebuke you.
I will put it in order before your eyes.
50:22
Understand this.
The one forgetting is God,
Lest I tear
And there is no deliverer.
50:23
A sacrifice of thanksgiving honours me,
And I will see a way there with the salvation of God.
