亚萨的诗。

真实的敬拜

50 大能者 神—耶和华已经发言呼召天下,
    从日出之地到日落之处。
从全然美丽的锡安中,
     神已经发光了。

我们的 神要来,绝不闭口;
    有烈火在他面前吞灭,
    有暴风在他四围刮起。
他呼召上天下地,
    为要审判他的子民:
“召集我的圣民,
    就是那些用祭物与我立约的人,到我这里来。”
诸天必表明他的公义,
    因为 神是施行审判的。(细拉)

“听啊,我的子民,我要说话!
    以色列啊,我要审问你;
我是 神,是你的 神!
我并不因你的祭物责备你;
    你的燔祭常在我面前。
我不从你家中取公牛,
    也不从你圈内取公山羊;
10 因为,林中的百兽是我的,
    千山的牲畜也是我的。
11 山中[a]的飞鸟,我都知道,
    田野的走兽也都属我。

12 “我若是饥饿,不用告诉你,
    因为世界和其中所充满的都是我的。
13 我岂吃公牛的肉呢?
    我岂喝公山羊的血呢?
14 你们要以感谢为祭献给 神,
    又要向至高者还你的愿,
15 并要在患难之日求告我,
    我必搭救你,你也要荣耀我。”

16 但 神对恶人说:“你怎敢传讲我的律例,
    口中提到我的约呢?
17 其实你恨恶管教,
    将我的言语抛在脑后。
18 你见了盗贼就乐意与他同伙,
    又和行奸淫的人同流合污。

19 “你的口出恶言,
    你的舌编造诡诈。
20 你坐着,毁谤你的兄弟,
    谗害你亲母的儿子。
21 你做了这些事,我闭口不言,
    你想我正如你一样;
其实我要责备你,将这些事摆在你眼前。

22 “你们忘记 神的,要思想这事,
    免得我把你们撕碎,无人搭救。
23 凡以感谢献祭的就是荣耀我;
    那按正路而行的,我必使他得着 神的救恩。”

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。
上帝的光辉从完美的锡安发出。
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。
祂召唤天地,
为要审判祂的子民。
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。”
诸天宣扬上帝的公义,
因为祂是审判官。(细拉)

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。
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。
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。”

Psalm 50

A psalm of Asaph.

The Mighty One, God, the Lord,(A)
    speaks and summons the earth
    from the rising of the sun to where it sets.(B)
From Zion,(C) perfect in beauty,(D)
    God shines forth.(E)
Our God comes(F)
    and will not be silent;(G)
a fire devours(H) before him,(I)
    and around him a tempest(J) rages.
He summons the heavens above,
    and the earth,(K) that he may judge his people:(L)
“Gather to me this consecrated people,(M)
    who made a covenant(N) with me by sacrifice.”
And the heavens proclaim(O) his righteousness,
    for he is a God of justice.[a][b](P)

“Listen, my people, and I will speak;
    I will testify(Q) against you, Israel:
    I am God, your God.(R)
I bring no charges(S) against you concerning your sacrifices
    or concerning your burnt offerings,(T) which are ever before me.
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.

22 “Consider this, you who forget God,(AV)
    or I will tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you:(AW)
23 Those who sacrifice thank offerings honor me,
    and to the blameless[d] I will show my salvation.(AX)

God the Righteous Judge

A Psalm of Asaph.

50 The (A)Mighty One, God the Lord,
Has spoken and called the earth
From the rising of the sun to its going down.
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
(B)God will shine forth.
Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent;
(C)A fire shall devour before Him,
And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him.

(D)He shall call to the heavens from above,
And to the earth, that He may judge His people:
“Gather (E)My saints together to Me,
(F)Those who have [a]made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”
Let the (G)heavens declare His righteousness,
For (H)God Himself is Judge. Selah

“Hear, O My people, and I will speak,
O Israel, and I will testify against you;
(I)I am God, your God!
(J)I will not [b]rebuke you (K)for your sacrifices
Or your burnt offerings,
Which are continually before Me.
(L)I will not take a bull from your house,
Nor goats out of your folds.
10 For every beast of the forest is Mine,
And the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 I know all the birds of the mountains,
And the wild beasts of the field are Mine.

12 “If I were hungry, I would not tell you;
(M)For the world is Mine, and all its fullness.
13 (N)Will I eat the flesh of bulls,
Or drink the blood of goats?
14 (O)Offer to God thanksgiving,
And (P)pay your vows to the Most High.
15 (Q)Call upon Me in the day of trouble;
I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”

16 But to the wicked God says:
“What right have you to declare My statutes,
Or take My covenant in your mouth,
17 (R)Seeing you hate instruction
And cast My words behind you?
18 When you saw a thief, you (S)consented[c] with him,
And have been a (T)partaker with adulterers.
19 You give your mouth to evil,
And (U)your tongue frames deceit.
20 You sit and speak against your brother;
You slander your own mother’s son.
21 These things you have done, and I kept silent;
(V)You thought that I was altogether like you;
But I will rebuke you,
And (W)set them in order before your eyes.

22 “Now consider this, you who (X)forget God,
Lest I tear you in pieces,
And there be none to deliver:
23 Whoever offers praise glorifies Me;
And (Y)to him who orders his conduct aright
I will show the salvation of God.”
