Chronological

50 (Mizmor of Asaph) El Elohim, even Hashem, hath spoken, and called Eretz from the mizrach shemesh (rising of sun) unto the going down thereof.

² Out of Tziyon, the perfection of yofi, Elohim shineth forth.

³ Eloheinu shall come, and shall not keep silent; an eish shall devour before Him, and it shall be tempestuous me’od round about Him.

⁴ He shall summon Shomayim from above, and ha’aretz, that He may judge His people.

⁵ Gather My chasidim together unto Me; those that have cut a Brit (covenant) with Me by zevach (blood sacrifice, T.N. cf Gn 4:5 on the true Jewish religion).

⁶ And Shomayim shall declare His tzedek; for Elohim Shofet hu. Selah.

⁷ Hear, O My people, and I will speak; O Yisroel, and I will testify against thee; I am Elohim, even Eloheicha.

⁸ I will not reprove thee for thy zevakhim. And thy olot are before Me tamid.

⁹ I will accept no par (bull) from thy bais, nor he-goats out of thy folds.

¹⁰ For every beast of the ya’ar (forest) is Mine, and the behemot upon a thousand hills.

¹¹ I know kol oph (every bird) of the harim; and the animals of the wild are Mine.

¹² If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the tevel is Mine, and the fulness thereof.

¹³ Will I eat the basar of bulls, or drink the dahm of goats?

¹⁴ Sacrifice unto Elohim todah; and pay thy nedarim (vows, pledges) unto Elyon;

¹⁵ And call upon Me in the Yom Tzarah; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me.

¹⁶ But unto the rasha, Elohim saith, What right hast thou to declare My chukkot, or that thou shouldest take My Brit in thy mouth?

¹⁷ Seeing thou hatest musar (correction), and casteth My devarim behind thee.

¹⁸ When thou sawest a ganav (thief), then thou consentedst with him, and hast taken thy chelek (lot) with mena’afim (adulterers).

¹⁹ Thou lettest loose thy mouth to ra’ah, and thy leshon frameth mirmah (deceit).

²⁰ Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own ben immecha.

²¹ These things hast thou done, and I kept silent; thou thoughtest that I was altogether like thee; but I will reprove thee, and set the charge before thine eyes.

²² Now consider this, ye that forget Elo’ah (G-d), lest I tear you to pieces, and there be none to rescue.

²³ Whoso offereth todah glorifieth Me; and to him that ordereth his derech aright will I show the Salvation of Elohim.

53 (For the one directing. According to ma’alot. Maskil of Dovid). The naval (fool) hath said in his lev, Ein Elohim (There is no G-d). Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity; there is none that doeth tov.

^2 (3) Elohim looked down from Shomayim upon Bnei Adam, to see if there were any of seichel, that did seek Elohim.

^3 (4) Every one of them has fallen away; they are altogether perverse; there is none that doeth tov, no, not echad (one).

^4 (5) Have the workers of iniquity no da’as? Who eat up My people as they eat lechem; they have not called upon Elohim.

^5 (6) There were they in great pachad (fear), pachad such as never was; for Elohim hath scattered the atzmot of him that encampeth against thee; thou [Yisroel] hast put them to shame, because Elohim hath rejected them.

^6 (7) Oh that the Yeshuat Yisroel would come out of Tziyon! When Elohim bringeth back the captivity of Amo (His people), Ya’akov shall rejoice, and Yisroel shall be glad.

60 (For the one directing. Set to The Shushan of the Edut. Mikhtam Dovid to instruct. When he fought Aram Naharayim and Aram Tzovah and when Yo’av returned and struck down 12,000 of Edom in the Gey Melach.) O Elohim, Thou hath rejected us, scattered us; Thou hast been angry; O restore us!

^2 (4) Thou hast made eretz to tremble; Thou hast torn it asunder, heal the fractures thereof; for it tottereth.

^3 (5) Thou hast showed Thy people kashah (hard times); Thou hast made us to drink the yayin of tarelah (bewilderment, reeling).

^4 (6) Thou hast set up a nes (banner) to them that fear Thee, that it may be unfurled on account of the truth. Selah.

^5 (7) That Thy Yedidot (beloved ones) may be saved; save with Thy Yamin (Right Hand) and hear me.

^6 (8) Elohim hath spoken in His Kodesh (Holiness); I will exult, I will parcel Shechem as chelek, and measure out the Valley of Sukkot.

^7 (9) Gil‘ad is Mine, and Menasheh is Mine; Ephrayim also is the ma’oz of Mine Rosh; Yehudah is My Mekhokek (prescriber of laws, lawgiver; see Gn 49:10; Isa 42:4 on Moshiach’s torah).

^8 (10) Moav is My washpot; over Edom will I cast My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.

^9 (11) Who will bring me to the Ir Matzon (city of fortification)? Who will bring me to Edom?

^10 (12) Wilt not Thou, O Elohim, which hadst cast us off? And Thou, O Elohim, which didst not go out with tzivoteinu (our armies)?

^11 (13) Give us help against the enemy; for vain is the teshuat adam (help, salvation of or from Man).

^12 (14) In Elohim shall we obtain the victory; for He it is that shall tread down tzareinu (our enemies, oppressors).

75 (For the one directing. Set to Do Not Destroy. Mizmor Asaph. Shir) Hodinu l’cha Elohim (Unto thee, Elohim, do we give thanks). Hodinu; that Thy Shem is near Thy wondrous works declare.

^2 (3) I shall seize the mo’ed (appointed time, Chabakuk 2:3) I will judge uprightly.

^3 (4) Eretz and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolving; I, even I, hold up the ammudim (pillars) of it. Selah.

^4 (5) I said unto the hollelim (arrogant), Deal not boastfully; and to the resha’im, Lift not up the keren;

^5 (6) Lift not up your keren on high; speak not with a stiff neck.

^6 (7) For promotion cometh lo (not) from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert.

^7 (8) But Elohim is the Shofet; He bringeth down one, and setteth up another.

^8 (9) For in the yad Hashem there is a kos, and the yayin is foaming; full of mixture; and He poureth out of the same; but the dregs thereof, all rishei aretz (wicked of the earth) shall drain them down, and drink them [Lk 22:42].

^9 (10) But I will proclaim l’olam; I will sing zemirot to Elohei Ya’akov.

^10 (11) All the karnayim of the resha’im also will I cut off; but the karnayim of the tzaddik shall be exalted. [T.N. In this Psalm we see that G-d is Judge. The Bible speaks of a great Assize where there will be a verdict regarding the sheep and the goats, the redeemed and the reprobate. See Rev 19:11 and 20:4-5.]
