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.

To you, O God, do we give thanks, to you do we give thanks: for that your name is near your wondrous works declare.

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

When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

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

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

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

I said to the fools, Deal not foolishly: 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 with a stiff neck.

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

For promotion comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

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

But God is the judge: he puts down one, and sets 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, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he pours out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

9 Men jeg skal juble evindelig, lovsynge Jakobs Gud;

But 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 exalted.
