< Psalms 75 >
1 To the choirmaster al-tashcheth a psalm of Asaph a song. We give thanks to you - O God we give thanks and [is] near name your people recount wonders your.
We give thanks to you; our God, we thank you. You are close to us, and we proclaim to others the wonderful things that you have done [for us].
2 If I will take an appointed time I uprightness I will judge.
[You have said], “I have appointed a time when I will judge people, and I will judge [everyone] fairly.
3 [are] melting away [the] earth And all inhabitants its I I put in order pillars its (Selah)
When the earth shakes and all the creatures on the earth tremble, I am the one who will (keep its foundations steady/prevent it from being destroyed).
4 I say to the boasters may not you boast and to the wicked [people] may not you lift up a horn.
I say to people who (boast/talk proudly about themselves), ‘Stop bragging!’ and I say to wicked people, ‘Do not proudly [do things to] show how great you are [IDM]!
5 May not you lift up to the height horn your may you speak with a neck arrogance.
Do not be arrogant, and do not speak so boastfully!’”
6 For not [is] from [the] going out and from [the] setting place and not from [the] wilderness exaltation.
The one who judges people does not come from the east or from the west, and he does not come from the desert.
7 For God [is the] judge this one he brings low and this one he lifts up.
God is the one who judges people; he says that some have sinned and must be punished, and that others have not done what is wrong.
8 For a cup [is] in [the] hand of Yahweh and wine it is foaming - full spiced drink and he has poured out some of this surely dregs its they will drain they will drink all [the] wicked [people] of [the] earth.
[It is as though] Yahweh holds a cup in his hand; it is filled with wine that [has spices] mixed in it [to cause those who drink it to become more drunk]; and when Yahweh pours it out, he will force all the wicked people to drink it; they will drink every drop of it, [which means that he will give them all the punishment that they deserve].
9 And I I will declare for ever I will sing praises to [the] God of Jacob.
But [as for me], I will never stop saying what the God whom Jacob [worshiped has done]; I will never quit singing to praise him.
10 And all [the] horns of wicked [people] I will cut off they will be lifted up [the] horns of [the] righteous.
He will destroy the power [IDM] of wicked people, but he will cause righteous people to become more powerful.
