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.

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

2 When I shall take a conuenient time, I will iudge righteously.

Ko bom sprejel skupnost, bom sodil iskreno.

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

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

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

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

5 Lift not vp your horne on high, neither speake with a stiffe necke.

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

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

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

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

Toda Bog je sodnik, odstavlja enega in postavlja drugega.

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.

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

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

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

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