< Psalms 75 >

1 TO THE OVERSEER. “DO NOT DESTROY.” A PSALM OF ASAPH. A SONG. We have given thanks to You, O God, We have given thanks, and Your Name [is] near, They have recounted Your wonders.
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 receive an appointment, I judge uprightly.
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 its inhabitants are melted, I have pondered its pillars. (Selah)
大地和眾居民嚇得動搖,但我必使大地支柱堅牢。
4 I have said to the boastful, “Do not be boastful,” And to the wicked, “Do not raise up a horn.”
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 Do not raise up your horn on high (You speak with a stiff neck).
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 not from the east, or from the west, Nor from the wilderness—[is] elevation.
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] judging, This He makes low—and this He lifts up.
因為惟獨天主是審判大主,他將此人貶抑將那人高舉。
8 For a cup [is] in the hand of YHWH, And the wine has foamed, It is full of mixture, and He pours out of it, Surely wring out its dregs, And all the wicked of the earth drink,
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 And I declare [it] for all time, I sing praise to the God of Jacob.
然而我要永遠歡舞,歌頌雅各伯的天主;
10 And I cut off all horns of the wicked, The horns of the righteous are exalted!
惡人的角,我要一一打碎,惟有義人的角纔可豎起。
