Psalms 50

1 A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from where the sun rises to where it sets.

1 大能者上帝－耶和華已經發言招呼天下， 從日出之地到日落之處。

2 From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth.

2 從全美的錫安中， 上帝已經發光了。

3 Our God approaches and will not be silent! Consuming fire precedes Him, and a tempest rages around Him.

3 我們的上帝要來，決不閉口。 有烈火在他面前吞滅； 有暴風在他四圍大颳。

4 He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that He may judge His people:

4 他招呼上天下地， 為要審判他的民，

5 “Gather to Me My saints, who made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”

5 說：招聚我的聖民到我這裏來， 就是那些用祭物與我立約的人。

6 And the heavens proclaim His righteousness, for God Himself is Judge. Selah

6 諸天必表明他的公義， 因為上帝是施行審判的。（細拉）

7 “Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God.

7 我的民哪，你們當聽我的話！ 以色列啊，我要勸戒你； 我是上帝，是你的上帝！

8 I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices, and your burnt offerings are ever before Me.

8 我並不因你的祭物責備你； 你的燔祭常在我面前。

9 I have no need for a bull from your stall or goats from your pens,

9 我不從你家中取公牛， 也不從你圈內取山羊；

10 for every beast of the forest is Mine—the cattle on a thousand hills.

10 因為，樹林中的百獸是我的， 千山上的牲畜也是我的。

11 I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are Mine.

11 山中的飛鳥，我都知道； 野地的走獸也都屬我。

12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is Mine, and the fullness thereof.

12 我若是飢餓，我不用告訴你， 因為世界和其中所充滿的都是我的。

13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

13 我豈吃公牛的肉呢？ 我豈喝山羊的血呢？

14 Sacrifice a thank offering to God, and fulfill your vows to the Most High.

14 你們要以感謝為祭獻與上帝， 又要向至高者還你的願，

15 Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me.”

15 並要在患難之日求告我； 我必搭救你，你也要榮耀我。

16 To the wicked, however, God says, “What right have you to recite My statutes and to bear My covenant on your lips?

16 但上帝對惡人說：你怎敢傳說我的律例， 口中提到我的約呢？

17 For you hate My instruction and cast My words behind you.

17 其實你恨惡管教， 將我的言語丟在背後。

18 When you see a thief, you befriend him, and throw in your lot with adulterers.

18 你見了盜賊就樂意與他同夥， 又與行姦淫的人一同有分。

19 You unleash your mouth for evil and harness your tongue to deceit.

19 你口任說惡言； 你舌編造詭詐。

20 You sit and malign your brother; you slander your own mother’s son.

20 你坐着毀謗你的兄弟， 讒毀你親母的兒子。

21 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.

21 你行了這些事，我還閉口不言， 你想我恰和你一樣； 其實我要責備你，將這些事擺在你眼前。

22 Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you:

22 你們忘記上帝的，要思想這事， 免得我把你們撕碎，無人搭救。

23 He who sacrifices a thank offering honors Me, and to him who rightly orders his way, I will show the salvation of God.”

23 凡以感謝獻上為祭的便是榮耀我； 那按正路而行的，我必使他得着我的救恩。
