Psalms 75

1 To the Chief Musician. "Do not Destroy." A Melody of Asaph, a Song. We have given thanks unto thee, O God, we have given thanks, And, in calling upon thy Name, men have recounted thy wonders.

`To the ouercomere; leese thou not the salm of the song of Asaph. God, we schulen knouleche to thee, `we schulen knouleche; and we schulen inwardli clepe thi name.

2 Surely I will take a set time, —I, with equity, will judge:

We schulen telle thi merueilis; whanne Y schal take tyme, Y schal deme riytfulnesses.

3 Earth was melting away with all its inhabitants, I, have fixed the pillars thereof. (Selah)

The erthe is meltid, and alle that duellen ther ynne; Y confermede the pileris therof.

4 I have said to the boasters, Do not boast, And to the lawless, Do not lift up a horn;

I seide to wickid men, Nyle ye do wickidli; and to trespassouris, Nyle ye enhaunce the horn.

5 Do not lift up on high your horn, Nor speak of the Rock, with arrogance;

Nyle ye reise an hiy youre horn; nyle ye speke wickidnesse ayens God.

6 For neither from east nor west, Nor from the wilderness of the mountains [cometh exaltation];

For nether fro the eest, nethir fro the west, nethir fro desert hillis; for God is the iuge.

7 For, God himself, is about to judge, One, he will cast down, Another, he will lift up;

He mekith this man, and enhaunsith hym; for a cuppe of cleene wyn ful of meddling is in the hoond of the Lord.

8 For, a cup, is in the hand of Yahweh, Whose wine is foaming, It is full of spiced wine, Which he hath caused to flow from one to another, —Surely, the dregs thereof, they shall drain out—they shall drink, Even all the lawless ones of the earth.

And he bowide of this in to that; netheles the drast therof is not anyntischid; alle synneris of erthe schulen drinke therof.

9 But, I, will exult unto times age-abiding, I will sing praises unto the God of Jacob;

Forsothe Y schal telle in to the world; Y schal synge to God of Jacob.

10 But, all the horns of the lawless, will I hew off, —Exalted shall be the horns of the Righteous One.

And Y schal breke alle the hornes of synneris; and the hornes of the iust man schulen be enhaunsid.
