Psalms 75
1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm by Asaph. A song. We give thanks to you, God. We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works.
Ki he Takimuʻa, ʻAli-Tasikiti, ko e Saame pe ko e Hiva ʻa ʻAsafi. ʻOku mau ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kiate koe, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku mau ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kiate koe: he ʻoku fakahā ʻe hoʻo ngaahi ngāue lahi ʻoku ofi ho huafa.
2 When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly.
“ʻO kau ka maʻu ʻae fakataha te u fakamaau māʻoniʻoni.
3 The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. (Selah)
Kuo movetevete ʻae fonua mo hono kakai: ʻoku ou poupou hake hono ngaahi pou. (Sila)
4 I said to the arrogant, “Do not boast!” I said to the wicked, “Do not lift up the horn.
Naʻaku pehē ki he kau vale, ʻoua naʻa mou fai fakavalevale: pea ki he kau angakovi, ʻoua te mou hiki hake ʻae nifo.
5 Do not lift up your horn on high. Do not speak with a stiff neck.”
ʻOua naʻa hiki ki ʻolunga homou nifo: ʻoua te mou lea ʻi he kia kekeva.”
6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.
He ʻoku ʻikai haʻu mei he potu hahake, pe mei he potu lulunga, pe mei he potu tonga ʻae hakeakiʻi.
7 But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts up another.
He ko e fakamaau ʻae ʻOtua: ʻoku ʻohifo ʻe ia ʻae tokotaha, kae fokotuʻu hake ʻae tokotaha.
8 For in the LORD’s hand there is a cup, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours it out. Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.
He ʻoku ʻi he nima ʻo Sihova ʻae ipu, pea ʻoku kulokula ʻae uaine: kuo pito ia ʻi he meʻa kuo huʻi ki ai; pea ʻoku lilingi ʻe ia mei ai: ka ko hono efe ʻo ia, ʻe tatau ia ʻe he angakovi kotoa pē ʻo māmani, ʻo inu ia.
9 But I will declare this forever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
Ka ko au te u fakahā ʻo taʻengata; te u hiva ʻaki ʻae fakamālō ki he ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope.
10 I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
Te u tutuʻu ke motu ʻae ngaahi nifo ʻoe kau angahala; ka ʻe hakeakiʻi ʻae ngaahi nifo ʻoe kau māʻoniʻoni.
