Salme 75

1 Til Sangmesteren. Al-tasjhet. En Salme af Asaf. En Sang.

For the music director. A psalm of Asaph. According to “Do Not Destroy.” A song. We thank you, God, we thank you because you are close beside us. People tell about the wonderful things you have done.

2 Vi takker dig, Gud, vi takker dig; de, der paakalder dit Navn, fortæller dine Undere.

God says, “When the time I have decided comes, I will judge fairly.

3 »Selv om jeg udsætter Sagen, dømmer jeg dog med Retfærd;

When the earth quakes, and all its inhabitants tremble, I am the one who holds it steady. (Selah)

4 vakler end Jorden og alle, som bor derpaa, har jeg dog grundfæstet dens Støtter.« (Sela)

To those who boast I say, ‘Don't boast!’ I tell the wicked, ‘Don't be proud!’

5 Til Daarerne siger jeg: »Vær ej Daarer!« og til de gudløse: »Løft ej Hornet,

No, don't be proud and arrogant, insulting heaven.”

6 løft ikke eders Horn mod Himlen, tal ikke med knejsende Nakke!«

For no one, from the east to the west, or from the wilderness, should think so highly of themselves.

7 Thi hverken fra Øst eller Vest kommer Hjælp, ej heller fra Ørk eller Bjerge.

God is the one who decides—who he will bring down and who he will lift up.

8 Nej, den, som dømmer, er Gud, han nedbøjer en, ophøjer en anden.

For the Lord has a cup in his hand, full of bubbling wine mixed with spices. He pours it out, and all the wicked drink it deeply, down to the last drop.

9 Thi i HERRENS Haand er et Bæger med skummende, krydret Vin, han skænker i for een efter een, selv Bærmen drikker de ud; alle Jordens gudløse drikker.

But I will speak about you forever. I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 Men jeg skal juble evindelig, lovsynge Jakobs Gud; alle de gudløses Horn stødes af, de retfærdiges Horn skal knejse!

For God says, “I will break the power of the wicked; but I will give my support to those who do what is good.”
