Psalms 75

1 For the choirmaster: To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm of Asaph. A song. We give thanks to You, O God; we give thanks, for Your Name is near. The people declare Your wondrous works.

(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.

2 “When I choose a time, I will judge fairly.

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

3 When the earth and all its dwellers quake, it is I who bear up its pillars.

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

4 I say to the proud, ‘Do not boast,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn.

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

5 Do not lift up your horn against heaven or speak with an outstretched neck.’”

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

6 For exaltation comes neither from east nor west, nor out of the desert,

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

7 but it is God who judges; He brings down one and exalts another.

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

8 For a cup is in the hand of the LORD, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours from His cup, and all the wicked of the earth drink it down to the dregs.

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.

9 But I will proclaim Him forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.

Men jeg skal juble evindelig, lovsynge Jakobs Gud;

10 “All the horns of the wicked I will cut off, but the horns of the righteous will be exalted.”

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