Psalms 75

1 To him that excelleth. Destroy not. A Psalme or song committed toAsaph. We will prayse thee, O God, we will prayse thee, for thy Name is neere: therefore they will declare thy wonderous workes.

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 conuenient time, I will iudge righteously.

我規定的日期一旦來臨，我必定要依照公道行審。

3 The earth and all the inhabitantes thereof are dissolued: but I will establish the pillars of it. (Selah)

大地和眾居民嚇得動搖，但我必使大地支柱堅牢。

4 I saide vnto the foolish, Be not so foolish, and to the wicked, Lift not vp the horne.

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 vp your horne on high, neither speake with a stiffe necke.

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 to come to preferment is neither from the East, nor from the West, nor from the South,

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 But God is the iudge: he maketh lowe and he maketh hie.

因為惟獨天主是審判大主，他將此人貶抑將那人高舉。

8 For in the hand of the Lord is a cup, and the wine is red: it is full mixt, and he powreth out of the same: surely all the wicked of the earth shall wring out and drinke the dregges thereof.

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 declare for euer, and sing prayses vnto the God of Iaakob.

然而我要永遠歡舞，歌頌雅各伯的天主；

10 All the hornes of the wicked also will I breake: but the hornes of the righteous shalbe exalted.

惡人的角，我要一一打碎，惟有義人的角纔可豎起。
