Psalms 75

1 Unto the end. May you not be corrupted. A Canticle Psalm of Asaph. We will confess to you, O God. We will confess, and we will call upon your name. We will describe your wonders.

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

2 While I have time, I will judge justices.

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

3 The earth has been dissolved, with all who dwell in it. I have confirmed its pillars.

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

4 I said to the iniquitous: “Do not act unjustly,” and to the offenders: “Do not exalt the horn.”

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

5 Do not exalt your horn on high. Do not speak iniquity against God.

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

6 For it is neither from the east, nor from the west, nor before the desert mountains.

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

7 For God is judge. This one he humbles and that one he exalts.

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

8 For, in the hand of the Lord, there is a cup of undiluted wine, full of consternation. And he has tipped it from here to there. So, truly, its dregs have not been emptied. All the sinners of the earth will drink.

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

9 But I will announce it in every age. I will sing 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 And I will break all the horns of sinners. And the horns of the just will be exalted.

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