诗篇 50
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
真诚敬拜的必尊敬 神
亚萨的诗。
50 大能者 神耶和华已经说话，
从日出之地到日落之处呼唤大地。（本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题）
2 神从全美的锡安，
已经彰显荣光。
3 我们的 神来临，决不缄默无声；
在他面前有火燃烧，
在他四周有暴风刮起。
4 他向天上、向地下呼唤，
为要审判自己的子民，说：
5 “你们把我的圣民聚集到我这里来，
就是那些用祭物与我立约的人。”
6 诸天宣扬他的公义，
因为 神自己就是审判者。
（细拉）
7 “我的子民哪！你们要听，我要说话；
以色列啊！我要控诉你；
我是 神，是你的 神。
8 我不是因你的祭物责备你，
你的燔祭常在我面前。
9 我不从你家里取公牛，
也不从你羊圈中取公山羊。
10 因为树林中的百兽是我的，
千山上的牲畜也是我的。
11 山中的雀鸟我都认识，
田野的走兽也都属我。
12 如果我饿了，我也不用对你说；
因为世界和其中所充满的，都是我的。
13 难道我要吃公牛的肉吗？
要喝公山羊的血吗？
14 你要以感谢为祭献给 神，
又要向至高者还你的愿。
15 在患难的日子，你呼求我。
我必搭救你，你也必尊敬我。”
16 但 神对恶人说：
“你怎么敢述说我的律例，
你的口怎么敢提到我的约呢？
17 至于你，你憎恨管教，
并且把我的话丢在背后。
18 你看见盗贼的时候，就乐于和他在一起；
你又与行淫的人有分。
19 你使你的口乱说坏话，
使你的舌头编造谎言。
20 你经常毁谤你的兄弟，
诬蔑你母亲的儿子。
21 你作了这些事，我默不作声；
你以为我和你一样？
其实我要责备你，要当面指控你。
22 忘记 神的人哪！你们要思想这事，
免得我把你们撕碎，没有人能搭救。
23 凡是以感谢为祭献上的，就是尊敬我；
那预备道路的，我必使他得见 神的救恩。”
Psalm 50
EasyEnglish Bible
Asaph wrote this psalm.
God is our judge[a]
50 God, the great God, the Lord, is speaking.
He is calling everybody on the earth,
from where the sun rises in the east,
to where it goes down in the west.
2 God is shining out from Zion,
that most beautiful place.
3 Our God is coming,
and he does not come quietly!
A fire burns up everything that is in front of him.
There is a great storm all round him.
4 He calls to the skies above,
and to the earth below.
They must watch while he judges his people.
5 He says, ‘Bring my people to me.
They are the people who offered sacrifices to me,
to agree our covenant.’
6 The skies above show that God is righteous,
and God himself is the judge.
Selah.
7 He says, ‘Listen to me, my people,
and I will speak to you.
I have something to say against you, Israel.
I am God, your God.
8 You offer sacrifices and burnt offerings to me all the time
but that is not why I speak against you.
9 I do not need a bull from your farm,
or goats from your fields.
10 All the wild animals of the forest belong to me!
All the cows on a thousand hills belong to me!
11 I know every bird in the mountains,
as well as all the insects.
12 Even if I did become hungry,
I would not tell you.
All the world belongs to me,
and everything that is in it.
13 Do I eat the meat of bulls? No!
Do I drink the blood of goats? No!
14 Say “thank you” to me as your offering.
Do whatever you have promised to do for me,
the Most High God.
15 Pray to me when you are in trouble.
Then I will rescue you,
and you will praise me.’[b]
16 But God says this to the wicked people:
‘It is useless for you to speak about my commands,
or about my covenant.
17 For you hate my teaching,
and you refuse to accept my message.
18 If you see a robber,
you run to help him!
You become friends with adulterers.
19 You speak about evil things,
and you are always telling lies.
20 You say bad things about your own brother,
and you speak against your own family!
21 You did all these things,
and I said nothing.
So you thought that I was as bad as you are.
But now I am warning you!
I will tell you clearly
what you have done wrong.
22 So think carefully about this,
all you people who have turned away from me.
If not, I will tear you into pieces,
and nobody will be able to save you.
23 If anyone wants to praise me,
they should say “thank you” to me as their offering.
If anyone obeys my commands,
I will show them my power to save people.’
Footnotes
- 50:1 This psalm is a picture of a court of law, where a judge decides whether someone has done right or wrong.
- 50:15 God says that there is nothing wrong with their sacrifices. But he does not need them. It is better to remember to say ‘thank you’ to God. Then he will answer his people when they pray to him for help.
