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.

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Iculo elithi, “Ungabhidlizi.” Ihubo lika-Asafi. Ingoma. Siletha ukubonga kuwe, Oh Nkulunkulu, siletha ukubonga, ngoba iBizo lakho liseduze; abantu bakhuluma ngemisebenzi Yakho emangalisayo.

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

Wena uthi, “Ngikhetha isikhathi esimisiweyo; yimi engahlulela okuqondileyo.

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

Nxa umhlaba kanye labantu bawo kuzamazama, yimi engizibamba ziqine izisekelo zawo.

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

Ngithi kwabayiziqholo, ‘Lingabe lisazincoma,’ ngithi kwababi, ‘Lingaziphakamisi impondo zenu.

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

Lingaphakamiseli uphondo lwenu phezulu ezulwini; lingakhulumi liziqhenya.’”

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

Kakho ovela empumalanga loba entshonalanga, kumbe ovela enkangala ongaphakamisa umuntu.

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

Kodwa nguNkulunkulu owahlulelayo: uyamehlisa omunye, amkhweze omunye.

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.

Esandleni sikaThixo kukhona inkezo egcwele iwayini eliphuphumayo elixutshwe ngeziyoliso; uyalithulula, kuthi bonke ababi bomhlaba balinathe kanye lenzece zalo.

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

Kodwa mina ngizamemezela lokhu lanini; ngizahlabelela indumiso kuNkulunkulu kaJakhobe,

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

yena othi, “Ngizazithulisa zonke impondo zababi, kodwa impondo zabalungileyo zizaphakanyiswa.”
