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].
In finem, ne corrumpas. Psalmus cantici Asaph. [Confitebimur tibi, Deus, confitebimur, et invocabimus nomen tuum; narrabimus mirabilia tua.
2 [You have said], “I have appointed a time when I will judge people, and I will judge [everyone] fairly.
Cum accepero tempus, ego justitias judicabo.
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).
Liquefacta est terra et omnes qui habitant in ea: ego confirmavi columnas ejus.
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]!
Dixi iniquis: Nolite inique agere: et delinquentibus: Nolite exaltare cornu:
5 Do not be arrogant, and do not speak so boastfully!’”
nolite extollere in altum cornu vestrum; nolite loqui adversus Deum iniquitatem.
6 The one who judges people does not come from the east or from the west, and he does not come from the desert.
Quia neque ab oriente, neque ab occidente, neque a desertis montibus:
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.
quoniam Deus judex est. Hunc humiliat, et hunc exaltat:
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].
quia calix in manu Domini vini meri, plenus misto. Et inclinavit ex hoc in hoc; verumtamen fæx ejus non est exinanita: bibent omnes peccatores terræ.
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.
Ego autem annuntiabo in sæculum; cantabo Deo Jacob:
10 He will destroy the power [IDM] of wicked people, but he will cause righteous people to become more powerful.
et omnia cornua peccatorum confringam, et exaltabuntur cornua justi.]
