真誠敬拜的必尊敬 神

亞薩的詩。

50 大能者 神耶和華已經說話,

從日出之地到日落之處呼喚大地。(本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題)

 神從全美的錫安,

已經彰顯榮光。

我們的 神來臨,決不緘默無聲;

在他面前有火燃燒,

在他四周有暴風颳起。

他向天上、向地下呼喚,

為要審判自己的子民,說:

“你們把我的聖民聚集到我這裡來,

就是那些用祭物與我立約的人。”

諸天宣揚他的公義,

因為 神自己就是審判者。(細拉)

“我的子民哪!你們要聽,我要說話;

以色列啊!我要控訴你;

我是 神,是你的 神。

我不是因你的祭物責備你,

你的燔祭常在我面前。

我不從你家裡取公牛,

也不從你羊圈中取公山羊。

10 因為樹林中的百獸是我的,

千山上的牲畜也是我的。

11 山中的雀鳥我都認識,

田野的走獸也都屬我。

12 如果我餓了,我也不用對你說;

因為世界和其中所充滿的,都是我的。

13 難道我要吃公牛的肉嗎?

要喝公山羊的血嗎?

14 你要以感謝為祭獻給 神,

又要向至高者還你的願。

15 在患難的日子,你呼求我。

我必搭救你,你也必尊敬我。”

16 但 神對惡人說:

“你怎麼敢述說我的律例,

你的口怎麼敢提到我的約呢?

17 至於你,你憎恨管教,

並且把我的話丟在背後。

18 你看見盜賊的時候,就樂於和他在一起;

你又與行淫的人有分。

19 你使你的口亂說壞話,

使你的舌頭編造謊言。

20 你經常毀謗你的兄弟,

誣衊你母親的兒子。

21 你作了這些事,我默不作聲;

你以為我和你一樣?

其實我要責備你,要當面指控你。

22 忘記 神的人哪!你們要思想這事,

免得我把你們撕碎,沒有人能搭救。

23 凡是以感謝為祭獻上的,就是尊敬我;

那預備道路的,我必使他得見 神的救恩。”

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.
From Zion, perfect in beauty,
    God shines brightly.
Our God is coming;
    he won’t keep quiet.
A devouring fire is before him;
    a storm rages all around him.
God calls out to the skies above
    and to the earth in order to judge his people:
“Bring my faithful to me,
    those who made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”
The skies proclaim his righteousness
    because God himself is the judge. Selah

“Listen, my people, I will now speak;
    Israel, I will now testify against you.
    I am God—your God!
I’m not punishing you for your sacrifices
    or for your entirely burned offerings,
    which are always before me.
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.”
