诗篇 50
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
真正的敬拜
亚萨的诗。
50 从日出之地到日落之处，
大能的上帝耶和华召唤世人。
2 上帝的光辉从完美的锡安发出。
3 我们的上帝来临，
并非悄然无声，
祂前面有烈火燃烧，
周围有暴风怒吼。
4 祂召唤天地，
为要审判祂的子民。
5 祂说：“把我忠心的子民——那些借着献祭和我立约的人招聚到我这里。”
6 诸天宣扬上帝的公义，
因为祂是审判官。（细拉）
7 祂说：“我的子民啊，听我说！
以色列啊，我要指控你！
我是上帝，是你的上帝。
8 我责怪你，不是因为你的祭物，
也不是因为你经常献给我的燔祭。
9 我不需要你棚里的公牛和圈里的山羊，
10 因为林中的百兽是我的，
群山上的牲畜是我的。
11 山中的飞鸟和田野的动物都是我的。
12 就是我饿了，也不用告诉你，
因为世界和其中的一切都是我的。
13 难道我吃公牛的肉，
喝山羊的血吗？
14 你要向上帝献上感恩祭，
向至高者恪守诺言，
15 在患难中呼求我，
我必拯救你，你必尊崇我。”
16 但上帝对恶人说：
“你怎能背诵我的律法，
谈论我的约？
17 你憎恶我的管教，
把我的话抛在脑后。
18 你见了盗贼就与他同流合污，
又喜欢与淫乱的人交往。
19 你满口恶言，谎话连篇，
20 肆意毁谤自己的同胞兄弟。
21 我对你的所作所为默然不语，
你就以为我与你是同道。
现在我要责备你，
当面指出你的罪状。
22 忘记上帝的人啊，
你们要省察，
免得我毁灭你们，
那时谁也救不了你们。
23 向我献上感恩就是尊崇我，
我必拯救走正路的人。”

God Wants True Worship
A psalm of Asaph [C a Levitical musician, a descendant of Gershon, at the time of David; 1 Chr. 6:39; 15:17; 2 Chr. 5:12].
50 The God of gods, the Lord, speaks.
He ·calls [proclaims to; summons] the earth from the rising to the setting sun.
2 God shines from ·Jerusalem [L Zion; C the location of the Temple],
·whose beauty is perfect [L the perfection of beauty; 48:2; Lam. 2:15].
3 Our God comes, and he will not be silent.
A fire ·burns [consumes] in front of him [Heb. 12:29],
and a ·powerful storm [whirlwind; tempest] surrounds him [Is. 66:15].
4 He ·calls to [summons] the ·sky [heavens] above and to the earth
that he might judge his people.
5 He says, “Gather around, you ·who worship me [holy ones; saints],
who have made an ·agreement [covenant; treaty] with me, using a sacrifice [Ex. 24:5–8].”
6 God is the judge,
and even the ·skies say he is right [heavens proclaim his righteousness]. ·
7 God says, “My people, listen to me;
Israel, I will ·testify [witness] against you.
I am God, your God.
8 I do not ·scold [reprimand; rebuke] you for your sacrifices.
You always bring me your burnt offerings [Lev. 1:1–17].
9 But I do not ·need [or accept] bulls from your ·stalls [L house]
or goats from your ·pens [folds],
10 because every animal of the forest is already mine.
The cattle on a thousand hills are mine.
11 I know every bird on the mountains,
and every living thing in the fields is mine.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
because the earth and ·everything in it [L its fullness] are mine.
13 ·I don’t [L Do I…?] eat the meat of bulls
or drink the blood of goats.
14 Give an ·offering to show thanks [thank offering] to God [Lev. 7:12; 22:29; Heb. 13:15].
Give God Most High what you have ·promised [vowed].
15 Call to me in times of ·trouble [distress].
I will ·save [rescue; T deliver] you, and you will ·honor [glorify] me.”
16 But God says to the wicked,
“Why do you ·talk about [recount] my ·laws [statutes; ordinances; requirements]?
Why do you ·mention [L lift up on your mouth] my ·agreement [covenant; treaty]?
17 You hate my ·teachings [instruction; discipline; Prov. 1:7]
and turn your back on what I say.
18 When you see a thief, you ·join [delight in; or run with] him.
·You take part in adultery [Your lot/portion is with adulterers].
19 You ·don’t stop your mouth from speaking evil [L send your mouth into evil],
and your tongue ·makes up lies [L is yoked to deception].
20 You sit around and speak against your brother
and ·lie [L give a stain/fault] about your mother’s son.
21 I have kept quiet while you did these things,
so you thought I was just like you.
But I will ·scold [reprimand; reprove] you
and ·accuse [indict] you ·to your face [L before your eyes].
22 “·Think about [Understand] this, you who forget God.
Otherwise, I will tear you apart,
and no one will ·save [protect] you.
23 Those people ·honor [glorify] me
who bring me ·offerings to show thanks [thank offerings; v. 14].
And I, God, will save those who ·do that [L go on my way/path].”
