3. Bog naš dolazi i ne šuti. Pred njim ide oganj što proždire, oko njega silna bjesni oluja.

5. “Congregate mihi sanctos meos, qui disposuerunt testamentum meum in sacrificio”.

6. Nebesa objavljuju pravednost njegovu: on je Bog sudac!

6. Et annuntiabunt caeli iustitiam eius, quoniam Deus iudex est.

8. Ne korim te zbog žrtava tvojih - paljenice su tvoje svagda preda mnom.

8. Non in sacrificiis tuis arguam te; holocausta enim tua in conspectu meo sunt semper.

9. Neæu od doma tvog' uzet junca, ni jaraca iz tvojih torova:

9. Non accipiam de domo tua vitulos neque de gregibus tuis hircos.

10. tÓa moje su sve životinje šumske, tisuæe zvjeradi u gorama mojim.

10. Quoniam meae sunt omnes ferae silvarum, iumentorum mille in montibus.

11. Znam sve ptice nebeske, moje je sve što se mièe u poljima.

11. Cognovi omnia volatilia caeli; et, quod movetur in agro, meum est.

12. Kad bih ogladnio, ne bih ti rekao, jer moja je zemlja i sve što je ispunja.

12. Si esuriero non dicam tibi; meus est enim orbis terrae et plenitudo eius.

13. Zar da ja jedem meso bikova ili da pijem krv jaraca?

13. Numquid manducabo carnes taurorum aut sanguinem hircorum potabo?

14. Prinesi Bogu žrtvu zahvalnu, ispuni Višnjemu zavjete svoje!

14. Immola Deo sacrificium laudis et redde Altissimo vota tua;

15. I zazovi me u dan tjeskobe: oslobodit æu te, a ti æeš me slaviti."

15. et invoca me in die tribulationis: eruam te, et honorificabis me”.

16. A grešniku Bog progovara: "Što tumaèiš naredbe moje, što meæeš u usta Savez moj?

16. Peccatori autem dixit Deus: “Quare tu enarras praecepta mea et assumis testamentum meum in os tuum?

17. Ti, komu stega ne prija, te rijeèi moje iza leða bacaš?

17. Tu vero odisti disciplinam et proiecisti sermones meos retrorsum.

18. Kad tata vidiš, s njime se bratimiš i družiš se s preljubnicima.

18. Si videbas furem, currebas cum eo; et cum adulteris erat portio tua.

19. Svoja si usta predao pakosti, a jezik ti plete prijevare.

19. Os tuum dimittebas ad malitiam, et lingua tua concinnabat dolos.

20. U društvu na brata govoriš i kaljaš sina matere svoje.

20. Sedens adversus fratrem tuum loquebaris et adversus filium matris tuae proferebas opprobrium.

21. Sve si to èinio, a ja da šutim? Zar misliš da sam ja tebi slièan? Pokarat æu te i stavit æu ti sve to pred oèi."

21. Haec fecisti, et tacui. Existimasti quod eram tui similis. Arguam te et statuam illa contra faciem tuam.

22. Shvatite ovo svi vi koji Boga zaboraviste, da vas ne pograbim i nitko vas spasiti neæe.

22. Intellegite haec, qui obliviscimini Deum, ne quando rapiam, et non sit qui eripiat.

23. Pravo me štuje onaj koji prinosi žrtvu zahvalnu: i onomu koji hodi stazama pravim - njemu æu pokazati spasenje svoje.

23. Qui immolabit sacrificium laudis, honorificabit me; et, qui immaculatus est in via, ostendam illi salutare Dei”.

Footnotes:

50:1-6 - God manifests Himself as the supreme Judge, summoning the whole earth. God's presence in judgment reveals His authority and the sacredness of His demands (see also Psalm 96:13 and Matthew 25:31-32).

50:7-15 - God does not desire empty sacrifices, but a sincere and obedient heart. The psalmist emphasizes that true worship is expressed in gratitude and invocation to God in times of need (see also Hosea 6:6 and Romans 12:1).

50:16-23 - The hypocrisy of the wicked is exposed; those who despise God's law have no place in His presence. This passage emphasizes the importance of living in accordance with God's Word to avoid judgment (see also Psalm 1:1-6 and James 1:22-24).

Verses related to Psalmi, 50:

Psalm 50, by Asaph, presents God as the supreme judge. What does God really want from His people? This powerful psalm portrays a divine court, where God calls heaven and earth to witness. He rebukes empty religious formalism and calls for sincere worship and genuine obedience. The text emphasizes the sovereignty of God, the insufficiency of heartless rituals, and the importance of gratitude. Psalm 50 challenges authentic and practical faith. Consider with us five biblical passages that echo the call to true worship in this confronting psalm.

Matthew 25:31-33: "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, with all the angels, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And he will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left." - This description of the final judgment reflects Psalm 50's theme of God judging his people.

Hebrews 13:15: "Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of lips that confess his name." - This verse echoes Psalm 50:14,23, which talks about offering sacrifices of thanksgiving and praise.

Micah 6:6-8: "With what will I present myself to the Lord and stand before the exalted God? Shall I present myself with burnt offerings, with yearling calves? Will he be satisfied with thousands of rams, with ten thousand streams of oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has shown you, O man, what is good and what the Lord requires: Do justice, love faithfulness, and walk humbly with your God." - This passage reflects the theme of Psalm 50 about what God really wants from his people, beyond ritual sacrifices.

Acts 17:24-25: "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth, and does not dwell in sanctuaries made with hands. He is not served by the hands of men, as if he needed something, because he himself gives life, breath and other things to everyone." - Paul's speech in Athens echoes the theme of Psalm 50:9-12 about God not needing material offerings.

Romans 2:21-24: "Do you, who teach others, not teach yourself? You, who preach against theft, steal? You, who say that one should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You, who hate idols, rob their temples? Do you, who pride yourself on the law, dishonor God by disobeying the law? As it is written: 'The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.'" - This passage from Paul reflects the theme of Psalm 50:16-21 about the hypocrisy of those who profess God's law but do not practice it.
