Salme 75

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

For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. We give thanks unto thee, O God; we give thanks, for thy name is near: men tell of thy wondrous works.

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

When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly.

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

The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have set up the pillars of it. (Selah)

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

I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

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

Lift not up your horn on high; speak not with a stiff neck.

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

For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, [cometh] lifting up.

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

But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and lifteth up another.

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

For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine foameth; it is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same: surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

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 declare for ever, 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!

All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
