Psalms 75

1 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.

Siyakubonga, Nkulunkulu, siyabonga, ukuthi ibizo lakho liseduze, iyalandisa imisebenzi yakho emangalisayo.

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

Lapho ngisemukela isikhathi esimisiweyo ngizakwahlulela ngokuqonda.

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

Umhlaba labo bonke abakhileyo kuwo kuncibilikile; mina ngiqinisa insika zawo. (Sela)

4 I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly; And to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

Ngathi kwabayiziwula: Lingabi yiziwula. Lakwababi: Lingaphakamisi uphondo.

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

Lingaphakamiseli phezulu uphondo lwenu, lingakhulumi ngentamo elukhuni.

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

Ngoba ukuphakanyiswa kakuveli empumalanga kumbe entshonalanga njalo hatshi enkangala.

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

Kodwa uNkulunkulu ungumahluleli, uyehlisa omunye, aphakamise omunye.

8 For in the hand of Jehovah 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 drain them, and drink them.

Ngoba esandleni seNkosi kulenkezo; lewayini liphuphuma, ligcwele inhlanganiso; iyathulula okwalo; kodwa izibhidi zalo, ababi bonke bomhlaba bazazihluza bazinathe.

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

Kodwa mina ngizatshumayela njalonjalo, ngihlabele indumiso kuNkulunkulu kaJakobe.

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

Njalo zonke impondo zababi ngizaziquma; impondo zabalungileyo zizaphakanyiswa.
