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.

「滅すなかれ」といふ調にあはせて伶長にうたはしめたるアサフの歌なり讃美なり 神よわれら汝にかんしやすわれら感謝すなんぢの名はちかく坐せばなり もろもろの人はなんぢの奇しき事跡をかたりあへり

2 God says, “When the time I have decided comes, I will judge fairly.

定りたる時いたらば我なほき審判をなさん

3 When the earth quakes, and all its inhabitants tremble, I am the one who holds it steady. (Selah)

地とすべての之にすむものと消去しとき我そのもろもろの柱をたてたり (セラ)

4 To those who boast I say, ‘Don't boast!’ I tell the wicked, ‘Don't be proud!’

われ誇れるものに誇りかにおこなふなかれといひ 惡きものに角をあぐるなかれといへり

5 No, don't be proud and arrogant, insulting heaven.”

なんぢらの角をたかく挙るなかれ頚をかたくして高りいふなかれ

6 For no one, from the east to the west, or from the wilderness, should think so highly of themselves.

挙ることは東よりにあらず西よりにあらずまた南よりにもあらざるなり

7 God is the one who decides—who he will bring down and who he will lift up.

ただ神のみ審士にましませば此をさげ彼をあげたまふ

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.

ヱホバの手にさかづきありて酒あわだてり その中にものまじりてみつ 神これをそそぎいだせり 誠にその滓は地のすべてのあしき者しぼりて飮むべし

9 But I will speak about you forever. I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

されど我はヤコブの神をのべつたへん とこしへに讃うたはん

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.”

われ惡きもののすべての角をきりはなたん 義きものの角はあげらるべし
