1 <A Psalm. Of Asaph.> The God of gods, even the Lord, has sent out his voice, and the earth is full of fear; from the coming up of the sun to its going down.

1 מִזְמֹ֗ור לְאָ֫סָ֥ף אֵ֤ל׀ אֱ‍ֽלֹהִ֡ים יְֽהוָ֗ה דִּבֶּ֥ר וַיִּקְרָא־אָ֑רֶץ מִמִּזְרַחשֶ֝֗־מֶשׁ עַד־מְבֹאֹֽו׃

2 From Zion, most beautiful of places, God has sent out his light.

2 מִצִּיֹּ֥ון מִכְלַל־יֹ֗פִי אֱלֹהִ֥ים הֹופִֽיעַ׃

3 Our God will come, and will not keep quiet; with fire burning before him, and storm-winds round him.

3 יָ֤בֹ֥א אֱלֹהֵ֗ינוּ וְֽאַל־יֶ֫חֱרַ֥שׁ אֵשׁ־לְפָנָ֥יו תֹּאכֵ֑ל וּ֝סְבִיבָ֗יו נִשְׂעֲרָ֥ה מְאֹֽד׃

4 His voice will go out to the heavens and to the earth, for the judging of his people:

4 יִקְרָ֣א אֶל־הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם מֵעָ֑ל וְאֶל־הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ לָדִ֥ין עַמֹּֽו׃

5 Let my saints come together to me; those who have made an agreement with me by offerings.

5 אִסְפוּ־לִ֥י חֲסִידָ֑י כֹּרְתֵ֖י בְרִיתִ֣י עֲלֵי־זָֽבַח׃

6 And let the heavens make clear his righteousness; for God himself is the judge. (Selah.)

6 וַיַּגִּ֣ידוּ שָׁמַ֣יִם צִדְקֹ֑ו כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִ֓ים׀ שֹׁפֵ֖ט ה֣וּא סֶֽלָה׃

7 Give ear, O my people, to my words; O Israel, I will be a witness against you; I am God, even your God.

7 שִׁמְעָ֤ה עַמִּ֨י׀ וַאֲדַבֵּ֗רָה יִ֭שְׂרָאֵל וְאָעִ֣ידָה בָּ֑ךְ אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֱלֹהֶ֣יךָ אָנֹֽכִי׃

8 I will not take up a cause against you because of your offerings, or because of your burned offerings, which are ever before me.

8 לֹ֣א עַל־זְ֭בָחֶיךָ אֹוכִיחֶ֑ךָ וְעֹולֹתֶ֖יךָ לְנֶגְדִּ֣י תָמִֽיד׃

9 I will take no ox out of your house, or he-goats from your flocks;

9 לֹא־אֶקַּ֣ח מִבֵּיתְךָ֣ פָ֑ר מִ֝מִּכְלְאֹתֶ֗יךָ עַתּוּדִֽים׃

10 For every beast of the woodland is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.

10 כִּי־לִ֥י כָל־חַיְתֹו־יָ֑עַר בְּ֝הֵמֹ֗ות בְּהַרְרֵי־אָֽלֶף׃

11 I see all the birds of the mountains, and the beasts of the field are mine.

11 יָ֭דַעְתִּי כָּל־עֹ֣וף הָרִ֑ים וְזִ֥יז דַ֗י עִמָּדִֽי׃

12 If I had need of food, I would not give you word of it; for the earth is mine and all its wealth.

12 אִם־אֶ֭רְעַב לֹא־אֹ֣מַר לָ֑ךְ כִּי־לִ֥י תֵ֝בֵ֗ל וּמְלֹאָֽהּ׃

13 Am I to take the flesh of the ox for my food, or the blood of goats for my drink?

13 הַֽ֭אֹוכַל בְּשַׂ֣ר אַבִּירִ֑ים וְדַ֖ם עַתּוּדִ֣ים אֶשְׁתֶּֽה׃

14 Make an offering of praise to God; keep the agreements which you have made with the Most High;

14 זְבַ֣ח לֵאלֹהִ֣ים תֹּודָ֑ה וְשַׁלֵּ֖ם לְעֶלְיֹ֣ון נְדָרֶֽיךָ׃

15 Let your voice come up to me in the day of trouble; I will be your saviour, so that you may give glory to me.

15 וּ֭קְרָאֵנִי בְּיֹ֣ום צָרָ֑ה אֲ֝חַלֶּצְךָ֗ וּֽתְכַבְּדֵֽנִי׃

16 But to the sinner, God says, What are you doing, talking of my laws, or taking the words of my agreement in your mouth?

16 וְלָ֤רָשָׁ֨ע׀ אָ֘מַ֤ר אֱלֹהִ֗ים מַה־לְּ֭ךָ לְסַפֵּ֣ר חֻקָּ֑י וַתִּשָּׂ֖א בְרִיתִ֣י עֲלֵי־פִֽיךָ׃

17 Seeing that you have no desire for my teaching, turning your back on my words.

17 וְ֭אַתָּה שָׂנֵ֣אתָ מוּסָ֑ר וַתַּשְׁלֵ֖ךְ דְּבָרַ֣י אַחֲרֶֽיךָ׃

18 When you saw a thief, you were in agreement with him, and you were joined with those who took other men's wives.

18 אִם־רָאִ֣יתָ גַ֭נָּב וַתִּ֣רֶץ עִמֹּ֑ו וְעִ֖ם מְנָאֲפִ֣ים חֶלְקֶֽךָ׃

19 You have given your mouth to evil, your tongue to words of deceit.

19 פִּ֭יךָ שָׁלַ֣חְתָּ בְרָעָ֑ה וּ֝לְשֹׁונְךָ֗ תַּצְמִ֥יד מִרְמָֽה׃

20 You say evil of your brother; you make false statements against your mother's son.

20 תֵּ֭שֵׁב בְּאָחִ֣יךָ תְדַבֵּ֑ר בְּבֶֽן־אִ֝מְּךָ֗ תִּתֶּן־דֹּֽפִי׃

21 These things have you done, and I said nothing; it seemed to you that I was such a one as yourself; but I will make a protest against you, and put them in order before your eyes.

21 אֵ֤לֶּה עָשִׂ֨יתָ׀ וְֽהֶחֱרַ֗שְׁתִּי דִּמִּ֗יתָ הֱֽיֹות־אֶֽהְיֶ֥ה כָמֹ֑וךָ אֹוכִיחֲךָ֖ וְאֶֽעֶרְכָ֣ה לְעֵינֶֽיךָ׃

22 Now keep this in mind, you who have no memory of God, for fear that you may be crushed under my hand, with no one to give you help:

22 בִּֽינוּ־נָ֣א זֹ֭את שֹׁכְחֵ֣י אֱלֹ֑והַּ פֶּן־אֶ֝טְרֹ֗ף וְאֵ֣ין מַצִּֽיל׃

23 Whoever makes an offering of praise gives glory to me; and to him who is upright in his ways I will make clear the salvation of God.

23 זֹבֵ֥חַ תֹּודָ֗ה יְֽכַ֫בְּדָ֥נְנִי וְשָׂ֥ם דֶּ֑רֶךְ אַ֝רְאֶ֗נּוּ בְּיֵ֣שַׁע אֱלֹהִֽים׃
