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 end, Destroy not, a Psalm of a Song for Asaph. We will give thanks to you, O God, we will give thanks, and call upon your name: I will declare all your wonderful works.

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

When I shall take a set time, I will judge righteously.

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

The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it: I have strengthened its pillars. (Pause)

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

I said to the transgressors, Do not transgress; and to the sinners, 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 unrighteousness against God.

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

For [good comes] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert mountains.

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

For God is the judge; he puts down one, and raises 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 [there is] a cup in the hand of the Lord, full of unmingled wine; and he has turned [it] from side to side, but its dregs have not been wholly poured out; all the sinners of the earth shall drink [them].

9 Men jeg skal juble evindelig, lovsynge Jakobs Gud;

But I will exult for ever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 alle de gudløses Horn stødes af, de retfærdiges Horn skal knejse!

And I will break all the horns of sinners; but the horns of the righteous one shall be exalted.
