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].
Til sangmesteren; "Forderv ikke"; en salme av Asaf; en sang. Vi priser dig, Gud, vi priser, og nær er ditt navn; de forteller om dine undergjerninger.
2 [You have said], “I have appointed a time when I will judge people, and I will judge [everyone] fairly.
For så sier Herren: Jeg vil gripe den fastsatte tid, jeg vil dømme med rettferdighet.
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).
Jorden er i opløsning, og alle de som bor på den; jeg har satt dens grunnstøtter efter mål. (Sela)
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]!
Jeg sier til de overmodige: Vær ikke overmodige, og til de ugudelige: Løft ikke horn!
5 Do not be arrogant, and do not speak so boastfully!’”
Løft ikke eders horn i det høie, tal ikke frekt med stiv nakke!
6 The one who judges people does not come from the east or from the west, and he does not come from the desert.
For ikke fra øst eller fra vest, ei heller fra fjellenes ørken -
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.
nei, Gud er den som dømmer; den ene fornedrer han, og den andre ophøier han.
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].
For det er et beger i Herrens hånd med skummende vin; det er fullt av krydret vin, og han skjenker ut av det; sannelig, dets berme skal de drikke, ja utsuge, alle de ugudelige på jorden.
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.
Men jeg vil forkynne det evindelig, jeg vil lovsynge Jakobs Gud.
10 He will destroy the power [IDM] of wicked people, but he will cause righteous people to become more powerful.
Og alle de ugudeliges horn vil jeg avhugge, den rettferdiges horn skal ophøies.
