Psalms 75

1 To the chief music-maker; put to Al-tashheth. A Psalm. Of Asaph. A Song. To you, O God, we give praise, to you we give praise: and those who give honour to your name make clear your works of power.

Til Sangmesteren. Al-tasjhet. En Salme af Asaf. En Sang.

2 When the right time has come, I will be the judge in righteousness.

Vi takker dig, Gud, vi takker dig; de, der paakalder dit Navn, fortæller dine Undere.

3 When the earth and all its people become feeble, I am the support of its pillars. (Selah)

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

4 I say to the men of pride, Let your pride be gone: and to the sinners, Let not your horn be lifted up.

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

5 Let not your horn be lifted up: let no more words of pride come from your outstretched necks.

Til Daarerne siger jeg: »Vær ej Daarer!« og til de gudløse: »Løft ej Hornet,

6 For honour does not come from the east, or from the west, or uplifting from the south;

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

7 But God is the judge, putting down one, and lifting up another.

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

8 For in the hand of the Lord is a cup, and the wine is red; it is well mixed, overflowing from his hand: he will make all the sinners of the earth take of it, even to the last drop.

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

9 But I will ever be full of joy, making songs of praise to the God of Jacob.

Thi i HERRENS Haand er et Bæger med skummende, krydret Vin, han skænker i for een efter een, selv Bærmen drikker de ud; alle Jordens gudløse drikker.

10 By him will all the horns of the sinners be cut off; but the horns of the upright will be lifted up.

Men jeg skal juble evindelig, lovsynge Jakobs Gud; alle de gudløses Horn stødes af, de retfærdiges Horn skal knejse!
