Psalm 49 [MT 50]
[A Psalm for Asaph.] The God of gods, the Lord, has spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun to the going down [thereof].
Ψαλμὸς τῷ ᾿Ασάφ. - ΘΕΟΣ θεῶν Κύριος ἐλάλησε καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὴν γῆν ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν ἡλίου μέχρι δυσμῶν.
God, our God, shall come manifestly, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall be kindled before him, and round about him there shall be a very great tempest.
ὁ Θεὸς ἐμφανῶς ἥξει, ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, καὶ οὐ παρασιωπήσεται· πῦρ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ καυθήσεται, καὶ κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ καταιγὶς σφόδρα.
He shall summon the heaven above, and the earth, that he may judge his people.
προσκαλέσεται τὸν οὐρανὸν ἄνω καὶ τὴν γῆν τοῦ διακρῖναι τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ·
Assemble ye his saints to him, those that have engaged in a covenant with him upon sacrifices.
συναγάγετε αὐτῷ τοὺς ὁσίους αὐτοῦ, τοὺς διατιθεμένους τὴν διαθήκην αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ θυσίαις,
And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge. Pause.
καὶ ἀναγγελοῦσιν οἱ οὐρανοὶ τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς κριτής ἐστι. (διάψαλμα).
Hear, my people, and I will speak to thee, O Israel: and I will testify to thee: I am God, thy God.
ἄκουσον, λαός μου, καὶ λαλήσω σοι, ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ διαμαρτύρομαί σοι· ὁ Θεὸς ὁ Θεός σού εἰμι ἐγώ.
I will not reprove thee on account of thy sacrifices; for thy whole-burnt-offerings are before me continually.
οὐκ ἐπὶ ταῖς θυσίαις σου ἐλέγξω σε, τὰ δὲ ὁλοκαυτώματά σου ἐνώπιόν μου ἐστὶ διαπαντός.
I will take no bullocks out of thine house, nor he-goats out of thy flocks.
οὐ δέξομαι ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου σου μόσχους οὐδὲ ἐκ τῶν ποιμνίων σου χιμάρους.
For all the wild beasts of the thicket are mine, the cattle on the mountains, and oxen.
ὅτι ἐμά ἐστι πάντα τὰ θηρία τοῦ δρυμοῦ, κτήνη ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσι καὶ βόες·
I know all the birds of the sky; and the beauty of the field is mine.
ἔγνωκα πάντα τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ὡραιότης ἀγροῦ μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ ἐστιν.
If I should be hungry, I will not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fullness of it.
ἐὰν πεινάσω, οὐ μή σοι εἴπω· ἐμὴ γάρ ἐστιν ἡ οἰκουμένη καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς.
Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
μὴ φάγομαι κρέα ταύρων, ἢ αἷμα τράγων πίομαι;
Offer to God the sacrifice of praise; and pay thy vows to the Most High.
θῦσον τῷ Θεῷ θυσίαν αἰνέσεως καὶ ἀπόδος τῷ ῾Υψίστῳ τὰς εὐχάς σου·
And call upon me in the day of affliction; and I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. Pause.
καὶ ἐπικάλεσαί με ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεώς σου, καὶ ἐξελοῦμαί σε, καὶ δοξάσεις με. (διάψαλμα).
But to the sinner God has said, Why dost thou declare my ordinances, and take up my covenant in thy mouth?
τῷ δὲ ἁμαρτωλῷ εἶπεν ὁ Θεός· ἱνατί σὺ διηγῇ τὰ δικαιώματά μου καὶ ἀναλαμβάνεις τὴν διαθήκην μου διὰ στόματός σου;
Whereas thou hast hated instruction, and hast cast my words behind [thee].
σὺ δὲ ἐμίσησας παιδείαν καὶ ἐξέβαλες τοὺς λόγους μου εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω.
If thou sawest a thief, thou rannest along with him, and hast cast in thy lot with adulterers.
εἰ ἐθεώρεις κλέπτην, συνέτρεχες αὐτῷ, καὶ μετὰ μοιχοῦ τὴν μερίδα σου ἐτίθεις.
Thy mouth has multiplied wickedness, and thy tongue has framed deceit.
τὸ στόμα σου ἐπλεόνασε κακίαν, καὶ ἡ γλῶσσά σου περιέπλεκε δολιότητα·
Thou didst sit and speak against thy brother, and didst scandalize thy mother’s son.
καθήμενος κατὰ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου κατελάλεις καὶ κατὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ τῆς μητρός σου ἐτίθεις σκάνδαλον.
These things thou didst, and I kept silence: thou thoughtest wickedly that I should be like thee, [but] I will reprove thee, and set [thine offences] before thee.
ταῦτα ἐποίησας, καὶ ἐσίγησα· ὑπέλαβες ἀνομίαν, ὅτι ἔσομαί σοι ὅμοιος· ἐλέγξω σε καὶ παραστήσω κατὰ πρόσωπόν σου τὰς ἁμαρτίας σου.
Now consider these things, ye that forget God, lest he rend [you], and there is no deliverer.
σύνετε δὴ ταῦτα, οἱ ἐπιλανθανόμενοι τοῦ Θεοῦ, μήποτε ἁρπάσῃ, καὶ οὐ μὴ ᾖ ὁ ῥυόμενος.
The sacrifice of praise will glorify me: and that is the way wherein I will shew to him the salvation of God.
θυσία αἰνέσεως δοξάσει με, καὶ ἐκεῖ ὁδός, ᾗ δείξω αὐτῷ τὸ σωτήριόν μου.
