< Psalms 75 >

1 “For the leader of the music. To the tune of “Do not destroy.” A psalm of Asaph.” We give thanks to thee, O God! we give thanks to thee, and near is thy name; Men shall declare thy wondrous deeds!
Ki he Takimuʻa, ʻAli-Tasikiti, ko e Saame pe ko e Hiva ʻa ʻAsafi. ‌ʻOku mau ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kiate koe, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku mau ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kiate koe: he ʻoku fakahā ʻe hoʻo ngaahi ngāue lahi ʻoku ofi ho huafa.
2 “When I see my time, Then will I judge with equity.
“ʻO kau ka maʻu ʻae fakataha te u fakamaau māʻoniʻoni.
3 The earth trembleth, and all her inhabitants; But I uphold her pillars.”
Kuo movetevete ʻae fonua mo hono kakai: ʻoku ou poupou hake hono ngaahi pou. (Sila)
4 I say to the proud, Behave not proudly! To the wicked, Lift not up your horn!
Naʻaku pehē ki he kau vale, ʻoua naʻa mou fai fakavalevale: pea ki he kau angakovi, ʻoua te mou hiki hake ʻae nifo.
5 Lift not up your horn on high, And speak not with a stiff neck!
‌ʻOua naʻa hiki ki ʻolunga homou nifo: ʻoua te mou lea ʻi he kia kekeva.”
6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south;
He ʻoku ʻikai haʻu mei he potu hahake, pe mei he potu lulunga, pe mei he potu tonga ʻae hakeakiʻi.
7 But it is God that judgeth; He putteth down one, and setteth up another.
He ko e fakamaau ʻae ʻOtua: ʻoku ʻohifo ʻe ia ʻae tokotaha, kae fokotuʻu hake ʻae tokotaha.
8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup; The wine is foaming and full of spices, And of it he poureth out; Even to the dregs shall all the wicked of the earth drink it.
He ʻoku ʻi he nima ʻo Sihova ʻae ipu, pea ʻoku kulokula ʻae uaine: kuo pito ia ʻi he meʻa kuo huʻi ki ai; pea ʻoku lilingi ʻe ia mei ai: ka ko hono efe ʻo ia, ʻe tatau ia ʻe he angakovi kotoa pē ʻo māmani, ʻo inu ia.
9 Therefore I will extol him for ever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.
Ka ko au te u fakahā ʻo taʻengata; te u hiva ʻaki ʻae fakamālō ki he ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope.
10 “I will bring down all the power of the wicked; But the righteous shall lift up their heads.”
Te u tutuʻu ke motu ʻae ngaahi nifo ʻoe kau angahala; ka ʻe hakeakiʻi ʻae ngaahi nifo ʻoe kau māʻoniʻoni.
