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.

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

2 When I receive an appointment, I judge uprightly.

Ko bom sprejel skupnost, bom sodil iskreno.

3 The earth and all its inhabitants are melted, I have pondered its pillars. (Selah)

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

4 I have said to the boastful, “Do not be boastful,” And to the wicked, “Do not raise up a horn.”

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

5 Do not raise up your horn on high (You speak with a stiff neck).

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

6 For not from the east, or from the west, Nor from the wilderness—[is] elevation.

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

7 But God [is] judging, This He makes low—and this He lifts up.

Toda Bog je sodnik, odstavlja enega in postavlja drugega.

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,

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 And I declare [it] for all time, I sing praise to the God of Jacob.

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

10 And I cut off all horns of the wicked, The horns of the righteous are exalted!

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