Psalm 50
Common English Bible
Psalm 50
A psalm of Asaph.
50 From the rising of the sun to where it sets,
God, the Lord God, speaks,
calling out to the earth.
2 From Zion, perfect in beauty,
God shines brightly.
3 Our God is coming;
he won’t keep quiet.
A devouring fire is before him;
a storm rages all around him.
4 God calls out to the skies above
and to the earth in order to judge his people:
5 “Bring my faithful to me,
those who made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”
6 The skies proclaim his righteousness
because God himself is the judge. Selah
7 “Listen, my people, I will now speak;
Israel, I will now testify against you.
I am God—your God!
8 I’m not punishing you for your sacrifices
or for your entirely burned offerings,
which are always before me.
9 I won’t accept bulls from your house
or goats from your corrals
10 because every forest animal already belongs to me,
as do the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 I know every mountain bird;
even the insects in the fields are mine.
12 Even if I were hungry, I wouldn’t tell you
because the whole world and everything in it already belong to me.
13 Do I eat bulls’ meat?
Do I drink goats’ blood?
14 Offer God a sacrifice of thanksgiving!
Fulfill the promises you made to the Most High!
15 Cry out to me whenever you are in trouble;
I will deliver you, then you will honor me.”
16 But to the wicked God says,
“Why do you talk about my laws?
Why do you even mention my covenant?
17 You hate discipline, and
you toss my words behind your back.
18 You make friends with thieves whenever you see one;
you spend your time with adulterers.
19 You set your mouth free to do evil,
then harness your tongue to tell lies.
20 You sit around, talking about your own siblings;
you find fault with the children of your very own mother.
21 You’ve done these things and I’ve kept quiet.
You thought I was just like you!
But now I’m punishing you;
I’m laying it all out, right in front of your face.
22 So consider this carefully, all you who forget God,
or I’ll rip you to pieces with no one to deliver you:
23 The one who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving is the one who honors me.
And it is to the one who charts the correct path that I will show divine salvation.”
詩篇 50
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
真正的敬拜
亞薩的詩。
50 從日出之地到日落之處，
大能的上帝耶和華召喚世人。
2 上帝的光輝從完美的錫安發出。
3 我們的上帝來臨，
並非悄然無聲，
祂前面有烈火燃燒，
周圍有暴風怒吼。
4 祂召喚天地，
為要審判祂的子民。
5 祂說：「把我忠心的子民——那些藉著獻祭和我立約的人招聚到我這裡。」
6 諸天宣揚上帝的公義，
因為祂是審判官。（細拉）
7 祂說：「我的子民啊，聽我說！
以色列啊，我要指控你！
我是上帝，是你的上帝。
8 我責怪你，不是因為你的祭物，
也不是因為你經常獻給我的燔祭。
9 我不需要你棚裡的公牛和圈裡的山羊，
10 因為林中的百獸是我的，
群山上的牲畜是我的。
11 山中的飛鳥和田野的動物都是我的。
12 就是我餓了，也不用告訴你，
因為世界和其中的一切都是我的。
13 難道我吃公牛的肉，
喝山羊的血嗎？
14 你要向上帝獻上感恩祭，
向至高者恪守諾言，
15 在患難中呼求我，
我必拯救你，你必尊崇我。」
16 但上帝對惡人說：
「你怎能背誦我的律法，
談論我的約？
17 你憎惡我的管教，
把我的話拋在腦後。
18 你見了盜賊就與他同流合污，
又喜歡與淫亂的人交往。
19 你滿口惡言，謊話連篇，
20 肆意譭謗自己的同胞兄弟。
21 我對你的所作所為默然不語，
你就以為我與你是同道。
現在我要責備你，
當面指出你的罪狀。
22 忘記上帝的人啊，
你們要省察，
免得我毀滅你們，
那時誰也救不了你們。
23 向我獻上感恩就是尊崇我，
我必拯救走正路的人。」
