Psalm 50
A psalm of Asaph.
1 The Mighty One, God, the Lord,(A)
speaks and summons the earth
from the rising of the sun to where it sets.(B)
2 From Zion,(C) perfect in beauty,(D)
God shines forth.(E)
3 Our God comes(F)
and will not be silent;(G)
a fire devours(H) before him,(I)
and around him a tempest(J) rages.
4 He summons the heavens above,
and the earth,(K) that he may judge his people:(L)
5 “Gather to me this consecrated people,(M)
who made a covenant(N) with me by sacrifice.”
6 And the heavens proclaim(O) his righteousness,
for he is a God of justice.[a][b](P)
7 “Listen, my people, and I will speak;
I will testify(Q) against you, Israel:
I am God, your God.(R)
8 I bring no charges(S) against you concerning your sacrifices
or concerning your burnt offerings,(T) which are ever before me.
9 I have no need of a bull(U) from your stall
or of goats(V) from your pens,(W)
10 for every animal of the forest(X) is mine,
and the cattle on a thousand hills.(Y)
11 I know every bird(Z) in the mountains,
and the insects in the fields(AA) are mine.
12 If I were hungry I would not tell you,
for the world(AB) is mine, and all that is in it.(AC)
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?
14 “Sacrifice thank offerings(AD) to God,
fulfill your vows(AE) to the Most High,(AF)
15 and call(AG) on me in the day of trouble;(AH)
I will deliver(AI) you, and you will honor(AJ) me.”
16 But to the wicked person, God says:
“What right have you to recite my laws
or take my covenant(AK) on your lips?(AL)
17 You hate(AM) my instruction
and cast my words behind(AN) you.
18 When you see a thief, you join(AO) with him;
you throw in your lot with adulterers.(AP)
19 You use your mouth for evil
and harness your tongue to deceit.(AQ)
20 You sit and testify against your brother(AR)
and slander your own mother’s son.
21 When you did these things and I kept silent,(AS)
you thought I was exactly[c] like you.
But I now arraign(AT) you
and set my accusations(AU) before you.

Psalm 50
Herrens dom över sitt folk
1 En psalm av Asaf.
Gud, Herren Gud, har talat,
han kallar på jorden från öster till väster.
2 Från Sion, fullkomlig i skönhet,
träder Gud fram i glans.
3 Vår Gud kommer, han skall ej tiga.
Förtärande eld går framför honom
och kring honom stormar det våldsamt.
4 Han kallar på himlen där ovan
och på jorden för att döma sitt folk:
5 "Församla till mig mina fromma,
som sluter förbund med mig vid offer."
6 Himlarna förkunnar hans rättfärdighet,
ty Gud är den som dömer. Sela.
7 "Hör, mitt folk, jag vill tala,
Israel, jag vill vittna mot dig:
Jag är Gud, din Gud.
8 Det är inte för dina slaktoffer
jag vill gå till rätta med dig,
dina brännoffer har jag alltid inför mig.
9 Jag vill inte ta tjurar ur ditt hus
eller bockar ur dina fållor,
10 ty alla skogens djur är mina,
boskapen på de tusen bergen.
11 Jag känner alla fåglar på bergen,
allt som rör sig på marken är mitt.
12 Om jag hungrade skulle jag inte säga det till dig,
ty hela jorden är min med allt den rymmer.
13 Skulle jag äta tjurars kött
eller dricka bockars blod?
14 Nej, offra lovets offer åt Gud
och infria dina löften till den Högste.
15 Ropa till mig på nödens dag,
så skall jag rädda dig, och du skall ära mig."
16 Men till den ogudaktige säger Gud:
"Hur kan du tala om mina stadgar
och ta mitt förbund på din tunga,
17 du som hatar tillrättavisning
och kastar mina ord bakom dig?
18 Om du ser en tjuv håller du med honom,
och med äktenskapsbrytare ger du dig i lag.
19 Du sprider ondska med din mun
och väver samman svek med din tunga.
20 Du sitter och förtalar din bror,
du hånar din mors son.
21 Sådant gör du och jag tiger.
Då tror du att jag är som du.
Men jag skall straffa dig
och låta dina ögon se det.
22 Lägg märke till detta,
ni som glömmer Gud,
så att jag inte sliter er i stycken utan räddning:
23 Den som offrar lovets offer ärar mig.
Den som ger akt på vägen,
skall jag låta se Guds frälsning."
Psalm 50
King James Version
Psalm 50
King James Version
50 The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.
7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.
8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.
9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.
10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and casteth my words behind thee.
18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
