< Psalms 75 >
1 For the end, Destroy not, a Psalm of a Song for Asaph. We will give thanks to thee, O God, we will give thanks, and call upon thy name: I will declare all thy wonderful works.
阿撒夫的詩歌,交與樂官。 我們感謝您,上主,我們感謝您,稱頌您的名號,傳揚您的奇蹟。
2 When I shall take a set time, I will judge righteously.
我規定的日期一旦來臨,我必定要依照公道行審。
3 The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it: I have strengthened its pillars. (Pause)
大地和眾居民嚇得動搖,但我必使大地支柱堅牢。
4 I said unto the transgressors, Do not transgress; and to the sinners, Lift not up the horn.
我對蠻橫者說:不要再蠻橫跋扈!我向糊塗人說:不要再頭角高露!
5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not unrighteousness against God.
不要舉您們的角,反抗至高者,不要再說驕傲的話反抗天主!
6 For [good comes] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert mountains.
的確,救援不從東方來,也不從西方來,救援不從曠野來,也不從山嶺來。
7 For God is the judge; he puts down one, and raises up another.
因為惟獨天主是審判大主,他將此人貶抑將那人高舉。
8 For [there is] a cup in the hand of the Lord, full of unmingled wine; and he has turned [it] from side to side, but its dregs have not been wholly poured out; all the sinners of the earth shall drink [them].
爵杯已經握在上主的手掌,裝滿了起沫而調和的酒釀,他已倒出要地上的惡人喝,還要叫他們飲盡杯中的糟粕。
9 But I will exult for ever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
然而我要永遠歡舞,歌頌雅各伯的天主;
10 And I will break all the horns of sinners; but the horns of the righteous one shall be exalted.
惡人的角,我要一一打碎,惟有義人的角纔可豎起。
