Psalms 75

1 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].

聖歌隊の指揮者によって、「滅ぼすな」というしらべにあわせてうたわせたアサフの歌、さんび 神よ、われらはあなたに感謝します。われらは感謝します。われらはあなたのみ名を呼び、あなたのくすしきみわざを語ります。

2 [You have said], “I have appointed a time when I will judge people, and I will judge [everyone] fairly.

定まった時が来れば、わたしは公平をもってさばく。

3 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).

地とすべてこれに住むものがよろめくとき、わたしはその柱を堅くする。 (セラ)

4 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]!

わたしは、誇る者には「誇るな」と言い、悪しき者には「角をあげるな、

5 Do not be arrogant, and do not speak so boastfully!’”

角を高くあげるな、高慢な態度をもって語るな」と言う。

6 The one who judges people does not come from the east or from the west, and he does not come from the desert.

上げることは東からでなく、西からでなく、また荒野からでもない。

7 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.

それはさばきを行われる神であって、神はこれを下げ、かれを上げられる。

8 [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].

主の手には杯があって、よく混ぜた酒があわだっている。主がこれを注ぎ出されると、地のすべての悪しき者はこれを一滴も残さずに飲みつくすであろう。

9 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.

しかしわたしはとこしえに喜び、ヤコブの神をほめうたいます。

10 He will destroy the power [IDM] of wicked people, but he will cause righteous people to become more powerful.

悪しき者の角はことごとく切り離されるが正しい者の角はあげられるであろう。
