< 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 songmeisteren; «tyn ikkje»; ein salme av Asaf, ein song. Me prisar deg, Gud, me prisar, og nær er ditt namn, dei fortel um dine under.
2 [You have said], “I have appointed a time when I will judge people, and I will judge [everyone] fairly.
For «eg vil gripa den fastsette tid, eg, med rettferd vil eg døma.
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).
Jordi og alle som bur der, kjem i røra, eg hev sett hennar stolpar fast.» (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]!
Eg segjer til skrøytarane: «Skrøyt ikkje!» og til dei ugudlege: «Reis ikkje horn!
5 Do not be arrogant, and do not speak so boastfully!’”
Reis ikkje hornet dykkar høgt, gjer ikkje nakke og tala agelaust!»
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 ikkje frå aust eller frå vest, og ikkje heller frå fjell-øydemarki -
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.
men Gud er den som dømer, den eine nedrar han, hin høgrar 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 eit staup er i Herrens hand med skumande vin, det er fullt av kryddevin, og han skjenkjer av det, ja, bermen skal dei suga til seg og drikka, alle dei ugudlege på jordi.
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 eg vil forkynna det æveleg, eg vil lovsyngja Jakobs Gud.
10 He will destroy the power [IDM] of wicked people, but he will cause righteous people to become more powerful.
Og alle horni på dei ugudlege vil eg hogga av; horni på den rettferdige skal reisa seg høgt.
