Psalms 75

1 To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, A Psalm [or] Song of Asaph. Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, [unto thee] do we give thanks: for [that] thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.

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

2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

Ko bom sprejel skupnost, bom sodil iskreno.

3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. (Selah)

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

4 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

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

5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak [not with] a stiff neck.

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

6 For promotion [cometh] 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 judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

Toda Bog je sodnik, odstavlja enega in postavlja drugega.

8 For in the hand of the LORD [there is] a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring [them] out, [and] drink [them].

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 ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

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

10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; [but] the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

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