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.

Tebi, oh Bog, dajemo zahvaljevanje, tebi dajemo zahvaljevanje, kajti tvoja čudovita dela oznanjajo, da je tvoje ime blizu.

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

Ko bom sprejel skupnost, bom sodil iskreno.

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

Zemlja in vsi njeni prebivalci se raztapljajo, jaz podpiram njene stebre. (Sela)

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

Bedakom sem rekel: »Ne ravnajte nespametno« in zlobnim: »Ne dvigajte roga.

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

Svojega roga ne dvigajte visoko gor. Ne govorite s trdim vratom.«

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

Kajti povišanje ne prihaja niti od vzhoda niti od zahoda niti od juga.

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

Toda Bog je sodnik, odstavlja enega in postavlja drugega.

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.

Kajti v Gospodovi roki je čaša in vino je rdeče, polno mešanice; in izliva iz istega, toda te droži bodo vsi zlobneži zemlje izželi in jih popili.

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

Toda jaz bom razglašal na veke, prepeval bom hvalnice Jakobovemu Bogu.

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.”

Tudi vse rogove zlobnih bom odrezal; toda rogovi pravičnih bodo povišani.
