Mizmor of Asaph
Elohim's
Ongoing Judgment
The setting of this Psalm is a courtroom
with Elohim Himself the Judge, Yisrael the defendant, and heaven and earth the
witnesses.
The
Court in Session (50:1-6)
50:1 EL
Elohim
(אלהים), YEHOVAH (יהוה),
speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
50:2 Out of Tzyon,
the perfection of beauty, Elohim
(אלהים) shines forth.
50:3 Eloheinu comes;
He does not keep silence; before Him is a devouring fire, around Him a mighty
tempest.
50:4 He
calls to the heavens above and to the earth, that He may judge His people:
50:5 "Gather
to Me My chasidim,
who made a covenant with Me by sacrifice!"
50:6 The
heavens declare His tzedakah,
for Elohim
(אלהים) himself is
judge! Selah
The
Sin of Ritualism (50:7-15)
50:7 "Hear,
O My people, and I will speak; O Yisrael, I will testify against you. Ani Elohim (אלהים),Eloheicha.
50:8 Not
for your sacrifices do I rebuke you; your olot are
continually before Me.
50:9 I
will not accept a bull from your house or goats from your folds.
50:10 For
every beast of the forest is Mine, the cattle on a thousand hills.
50:11 I
know all the birds of the hills, and all that moves in the field is Mine.
50:12 "If
I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world and its fullness are Mine.
50:13 Do
I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?
50:14 Offer to Elohim
(אלהים) thanksgiving; and pay your
vows l'Elyon (עליון):
50:15 and
call upon Me in the Yom Tzarah (trouble);
I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me."
But
to the Wicked... (50:16-21)
50:16 But
to the wicked Elohim (אלהים) says: "What right have you to recite My statutes or take
My covenant on your lips?
50:17 For you hate discipline,
and you cast My words behind you.
50:18 If you see a thief, you
are pleased with Him, and you keep company with adulterers.
50:19 "You give your mouth
free rein for evil, and your tongue frames deceit.
50:20 You sit and speak against
your brother; you slander your own mother's son.
50:21 These things you have done,
and I have been silent; you thought that I was one like yourself. But now I
rebuke you and lay the charge before you.
Warning
and Promise (50:22, 23)
50:22 "Mark this, then,
you who forget Eloah
(אלוהּ), lest I tear you apart, and there be none to deliver!
50:23 The one who offers thanksgiving
as his sacrifice glorifies Me; to one who orders his way rightly I will show
the salvation of Elohim (אלהים)!"
