50 Salmo. Di Asaf.
Parla il Signore, Dio degli dei,
convoca la terra da oriente a occidente.
2 Da Sion, splendore di bellezza,
Dio rifulge.
3 Viene il nostro Dio e non sta in silenzio;
davanti a lui un fuoco divorante,
intorno a lui si scatena la tempesta.
4 Convoca il cielo dall'alto
e la terra al giudizio del suo popolo:
5 «Davanti a me riunite i miei fedeli,
che hanno sancito con me l'alleanza
offrendo un sacrificio».
6 Il cielo annunzi la sua giustizia,
Dio è il giudice.
7 «Ascolta, popolo mio, voglio parlare,
testimonierò contro di te, Israele:
Io sono Dio, il tuo Dio.
8 Non ti rimprovero per i tuoi sacrifici;
i tuoi olocausti mi stanno sempre davanti.
9 Non prenderò giovenchi dalla tua casa,
né capri dai tuoi recinti.
10 Sono mie tutte le bestie della foresta,
animali a migliaia sui monti.
11 Conosco tutti gli uccelli del cielo,
è mio ciò che si muove nella campagna.
12 Se avessi fame, a te non lo direi:
mio è il mondo e quanto contiene.
13 Mangerò forse la carne dei tori,
berrò forse il sangue dei capri?
14 Offri a Dio un sacrificio di lode
e sciogli all'Altissimo i tuoi voti;
15 invocami nel giorno della sventura:
ti salverò e tu mi darai gloria».
16 All'empio dice Dio:
«Perché vai ripetendo i miei decreti
e hai sempre in bocca la mia alleanza,
17 tu che detesti la disciplina
e le mie parole te le getti alle spalle?
18 Se vedi un ladro, corri con lui;
e degli adùlteri ti fai compagno.
19 Abbandoni la tua bocca al male
e la tua lingua ordisce inganni.
20 Ti siedi, parli contro il tuo fratello,
getti fango contro il figlio di tua madre.
21 Hai fatto questo e dovrei tacere?
forse credevi ch'io fossi come te!
Ti rimprovero: ti pongo innanzi i tuoi peccati».
22 Capite questo voi che dimenticate Dio,
perché non mi adiri e nessuno vi salvi.
23 Chi offre il sacrificio di lode, questi mi onora,
a chi cammina per la retta via
mostrerò la salvezza di Dio.

Psalm 50
A psalm of Asaph.
1 The Mighty One, God, the Lord,(A)
speaks and summons the earth
from the rising of the sun to where it sets.(B)
2 From Zion,(C) perfect in beauty,(D)
God shines forth.(E)
3 Our God comes(F)
and will not be silent;(G)
a fire devours(H) before him,(I)
and around him a tempest(J) rages.
4 He summons the heavens above,
and the earth,(K) that he may judge his people:(L)
5 “Gather to me this consecrated people,(M)
who made a covenant(N) with me by sacrifice.”
6 And the heavens proclaim(O) his righteousness,
for he is a God of justice.[a][b](P)
7 “Listen, my people, and I will speak;
I will testify(Q) against you, Israel:
I am God, your God.(R)
8 I bring no charges(S) against you concerning your sacrifices
or concerning your burnt offerings,(T) which are ever before me.
9 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.

God Himself Is Judge
A Psalm of (A)Asaph.
50 (B)The Mighty One, God the Lord,
speaks and summons the earth
(C)from the rising of the sun to its setting.
2 Out of Zion, (D)the perfection of beauty,
(E)God shines forth.
3 Our God comes; he (F)does not keep silence;[a]
before him is a devouring (G)fire,
around him a mighty tempest.
4 (H)He calls to the heavens above
and to the earth, that he may judge his people:
5 “Gather to me my faithful ones,
who made (I)a covenant with me by sacrifice!”
6 (J)The heavens declare his righteousness,
for (K)God himself is judge! Selah
7 (L)“Hear, O my people, and I will speak;
O Israel, I will testify against you.
(M)I am God, your God.
8 Not for your sacrifices (N)do I rebuke you;
your burnt offerings are continually before me.
9 I will not accept a bull from your house
or goats from your folds.
10 For every beast of the forest is mine,
the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 (O)I know all the birds of the hills,
and all that moves in the field is mine.
12 “If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
(P)for the world and its fullness are mine.
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?
14 (Q)Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving,[b]
and (R)perform your vows to the Most High,
15 and (S)call upon me in the day of trouble;
I will (T)deliver you, and you shall (U)glorify me.”
16 But to the wicked God says:
“What right have you to recite my statutes
or take my covenant on your lips?
17 (V)For you hate discipline,
(W)and you cast my words behind you.
18 If you see a thief, (X)you are pleased with him,
(Y)and you keep company with adulterers.
19 “You give your mouth free rein for evil,
(Z)and 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 (AA)have been silent;
you thought that I[c] was one like yourself.
But now I (AB)rebuke you and (AC)lay the charge before you.
22 “Mark this, then, you who (AD)forget God,
lest I tear you apart, and there be (AE)none to deliver!
23 The one who (AF)offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me;
to one who (AG)orders his way rightly
I will show the (AH)salvation of God!”
