PSALM 50
First Version
Meter: 6,6,8,6
A Psalm of Asaph.
1The mighty God, the Lord,
hath spoken, and did call
The earth, from rising of the sun,
to where he hath his fall.
2From out of Sion hill,
which of excellency
And beauty the perfection is,
God shined gloriously.
3Our God shall surely come,
keep silence shall not he:
Before him fire shall waste, great storms
shall round about him be.
4Unto the heavens clear
he from above shall call,
And to the earth likewise, that he
may judge his people all.
5Together let my saints
unto me gather'd be,
Those that by sacrifice have made
a covenant with me.
6And then the heavens shall
his righteousness declare:
Because the Lord himself is he
by whom men judged are.
7My people Isr'el hear,
speak will I from on high,
Against thee I will testify;
God, ev'n thy God, am I.
8I for thy sacrifice
no blame will on thee lay,
Nor for burnt-off 'rings, which to me
thou offer'dst ev'ry day.
9I'll take no calf nor goats
from house or fold of thine:
10For beasts of forests, cattle all
on thousand hills, are mine.
11The fowls on mountains high
are all to me well known;
Wild beasts which in the fields do lie,
ev'n they are all mine own.
12Then, if I hungry were,
I would not tell it thee;
Because the world, and fulness all
thereof, belongs to me.
13Will I eat flesh of bulls?
or goats' blood drink will I?
14Thanks offer thou to God, and pay
thy vows to the most High.
15And call upon me when
in trouble thou shalt be;
I will deliver thee, and thou
my name shalt glorify.
16But to the wicked man
God saith, My laws and truth
Should'st thou declare? how dar'st thou take
my cov'nant in thy mouth?
17Sith thou instruction hat'st,
which should thy ways direct;
And sith my words behind thy back
thou cast'st, and dost reject.
18When thou a thief didst see,
with him thou didst consent;
And with the vile adulterers
partaker on thou went.
19Thou giv'st thy mouth to ill,
thy tongue deceit doth frame;
20Thou sitt'st, and 'gainst thy brother speak'st,
thy mother's son dost shame.
21Because I silence kept,
while thou these things hast wrought;
That I was altogether like
thyself, hath been thy thought;
Yet I will thee reprove,
and set before thine eyes,
In order ranked, thy misdeeds
and thine iniquities.
22Now, ye that God forget,
this carefully consider;
Lest I in pieces tear you all,
and none can you deliver.
23Whoso doth offer praise
me glorifies; and I
Will shew him God's salvation,
that orders right his way.

Tehillim 50
50
(Mizmor of Asaph)
1El Elohim, even Hashem, hath spoken, and called Eretz from the mizrach shemesh (rising of sun) unto the going down thereof.
2Out of Tziyon, the perfection of yofi, Elohim shineth forth.
3Eloheinu shall come, and shall not keep silent; an eish shall devour before Him, and it shall be tempestuous me'od round about Him.
4He shall summon Shomayim from above, and ha'aretz, that He may judge His people.
5Gather My chasidim together unto Me; those that have cut a Brit (covenant) with Me by zevach (blood sacrifice).#50:5 cf Gn 4:5 on the true Jewish religion
6And Shomayim shall declare His tzedek; for Elohim Shofet hu. Selah
7Hear, O My people, and I will speak; O Yisroel, and I will testify against thee; I am Elohim, even Eloheicha.
8I will not reprove thee for thy zevakhim. And thy olot are before Me tamid.
9I will accept no par (bull) from thy bais, nor he-goats out of thy folds.
10For every beast of the ya'ar (forest) is Mine, and the behemot upon a thousand hills.
11I know kol oph (every bird) of the harim; and the animals of the wild are Mine.
12If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the tevel is Mine, and the fulness thereof.
13Will I eat the basar of bulls, or drink the dahm of goats?
14Sacrifice unto Elohim todah; and pay thy nedarim (vows, pledges) unto Elyon;
15And call upon Me in the Yom Tzarah; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me.
16But unto the rasha, Elohim saith, What right hast thou to declare My chukkot, or that thou shouldest take My Brit in thy mouth?
17Seeing thou hatest musar (correction), and casteth My devarim behind thee.
18When thou sawest a ganav (thief), then thou consentedst with him, and hast taken thy chelek (lot) with mena'afim (adulterers).
19Thou lettest loose thy mouth to ra'ah, and thy leshon frameth mirmah (deceit).
20Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own ben immecha.
21These 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.
22Now consider this, ye that forget Elo'ah (G-d), lest I tear you to pieces, and there be none to rescue.
23Whoso offereth todah glorifieth Me; and to him that ordereth his derech aright will I show the Salvation of Elohim.
