Psalms 75
1 For the music director. A psalm of Asaph. According to “Do Not Destroy.” A song. We thank you, God, we thank you because you are close beside us. People tell about the wonderful things you have done.
`To the ouercomere; leese thou not the salm of the song of Asaph. God, we schulen knouleche to thee, `we schulen knouleche; and we schulen inwardli clepe thi name.
2 God says, “When the time I have decided comes, I will judge fairly.
We schulen telle thi merueilis; whanne Y schal take tyme, Y schal deme riytfulnesses.
3 When the earth quakes, and all its inhabitants tremble, I am the one who holds it steady. (Selah)
The erthe is meltid, and alle that duellen ther ynne; Y confermede the pileris therof.
4 To those who boast I say, ‘Don't boast!’ I tell the wicked, ‘Don't be proud!’
I seide to wickid men, Nyle ye do wickidli; and to trespassouris, Nyle ye enhaunce the horn.
5 No, don't be proud and arrogant, insulting heaven.”
Nyle ye reise an hiy youre horn; nyle ye speke wickidnesse ayens God.
6 For no one, from the east to the west, or from the wilderness, should think so highly of themselves.
For nether fro the eest, nethir fro the west, nethir fro desert hillis; for God is the iuge.
7 God is the one who decides—who he will bring down and who he will lift up.
He mekith this man, and enhaunsith hym; for a cuppe of cleene wyn ful of meddling is in the hoond of the Lord.
8 For the Lord has a cup in his hand, full of bubbling wine mixed with spices. He pours it out, and all the wicked drink it deeply, down to the last drop.
And he bowide of this in to that; netheles the drast therof is not anyntischid; alle synneris of erthe schulen drinke therof.
9 But I will speak about you forever. I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
Forsothe Y schal telle in to the world; Y schal synge to God of Jacob.
10 For God says, “I will break the power of the wicked; but I will give my support to those who do what is good.”
And Y schal breke alle the hornes of synneris; and the hornes of the iust man schulen be enhaunsid.
