Salme 75

1 (Til Sangmesteren. Al-tasjhet. En Salme af Asaf. En sang.) Vi takker dig, Gud, vi takker dig; de, der påkalder dit Navn, fortæller dine Undere.

For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. We give thanks unto Thee, O God, we give thanks, and Thy name is near; men tell of Thy wondrous works.

2 "Selv om jeg udsætter Sagen, dømmer jeg dog med Retfærd;

'When I take the appointed time, I Myself will judge with equity.

3 vakler end Jorden og alle, som bor derpå, har jeg dog grundfæstet dens Støtter." (Sela)

When the earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved, I Myself establish the pillars of it.' (Selah)

4 Til Dårerne siger jeg: "Vær ej Dårer!" og til de gudløse: "Løft ej Hornet,

I say unto the arrogant: 'Deal not arrogantly'; and to the wicked: 'Lift not up the horn.'

5 løft ikke eders Horn mod Himlen, tal ikke med knejsende Nakke!"

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

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

For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the wilderness, cometh lifting up.

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

For God is judge; He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.

8 Thi i HERRENs Hånd er et Bæger med skummende, krydet Vin. han skænker i for een efter een, selv Bærmen drikker de ud; alle Jordens gudløse drikker.

For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, with foaming wine, full of mixture, and He poureth out of the same; surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.

9 Men jeg skal juble evindelig, lovsynge Jakobs Gud;

But as for me, I will declare for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 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.
