Psalms 50
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1A Psalm of Asaph. God, God, the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
1In finem. Psalmus David,
2Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth.
2cum venit ad eum Nathan propheta, quando intravit ad Bethsabee.
3Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence; a fire devoureth before Him, and round about Him it stormeth mightily.
3[Miserere mei, Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam tuam; et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem meam.
4He calleth to the heavens above, and to the earth, that He may judge His people:
4Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea, et a peccato meo munda me.
5'Gather My saints together unto Me; those that have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.'
5Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco, et peccatum meum contra me est semper.
6And the heavens declare His righteousness; for God, He is judge. Selah
6Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci; ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum judicaris.
7'Hear, O My people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: God, thy God, am I.
7Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum, et in peccatis concepit me mater mea.
8I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; and thy burnt-offerings are continually before Me.
8Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti; incerta et occulta sapientiæ tuæ manifestasti mihi.
9I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he-goats out of thy folds.
9Asperges me hyssopo, et mundabor; lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor.
10For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
10Auditui meo dabis gaudium et lætitiam, et exsultabunt ossa humiliata.
11I know all the fowls of the mountains; and the wild beasts of the field are Mine.
11Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis, et omnes iniquitates meas dele.
12If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the world is Mine, and the fulness thereof.
12Cor mundum crea in me, Deus, et spiritum rectum innova in visceribus meis.
13Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
13Ne projicias me a facie tua, et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me.
14Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the Most High;
14Redde mihi lætitiam salutaris tui, et spiritu principali confirma me.
15And call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt honour Me.'
15Docebo iniquos vias tuas, et impii ad te convertentur.
16But unto the wicked God saith: 'What hast thou to do to declare My statutes, and that thou hast taken My covenant in thy mouth?
16Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus, Deus salutis meæ, et exsultabit lingua mea justitiam tuam.
17Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest My words behind thee.
17Domine, labia mea aperies, et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam.
18When thou sawest a thief, thou hadst company with him, and with adulterers was thy portion.
18Quoniam si voluisses sacrificium, dedissem utique; holocaustis non delectaberis.
19Thou hast let loose thy mouth for evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
19Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus; cor contritum et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies.
20Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
20Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion, ut ædificentur muri Jerusalem.
21These things hast thou done, and should I have kept silence? Thou hadst thought that I was altogether such a one as thyself; but I will reprove thee, and set the cause before thine eyes.
21Tunc acceptabis sacrificium justitiæ, oblationes et holocausta; tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos.]
22Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear in pieces, and there be none to deliver.

23Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving honoureth Me; and to him that ordereth his way aright will I show the salvation of God.'
