Psalms 75

1 For the chief musician; set to Al Tashheth. A psalm of Asaph, a song. We give thanks to you, God; we give thanks, for you reveal your presence; people tell of your wondrous works.

Siyakubonga, Nkulunkulu, siyabonga, ukuthi ibizo lakho liseduze, iyalandisa imisebenzi yakho emangalisayo.

2 At the appointed time I will judge fairly.

Lapho ngisemukela isikhathi esimisiweyo ngizakwahlulela ngokuqonda.

3 Though the earth and all the inhabitants shake in fear, I make steady the earth's pillars. (Selah)

Umhlaba labo bonke abakhileyo kuwo kuncibilikile; mina ngiqinisa insika zawo. (Sela)

4 I said to the arrogant, “Do not be arrogant,” and to the wicked, “Do not lift up the horn.

Ngathi kwabayiziwula: Lingabi yiziwula. Lakwababi: Lingaphakamisi uphondo.

5 Do not lift up your horn to the heights; do not speak with an insolent neck.”

Lingaphakamiseli phezulu uphondo lwenu, lingakhulumi ngentamo elukhuni.

6 It is not from the east or from the west, and it is not from the wilderness that lifting up comes.

Ngoba ukuphakanyiswa kakuveli empumalanga kumbe entshonalanga njalo hatshi enkangala.

7 But God is the judge; he brings down and he lifts up.

Kodwa uNkulunkulu ungumahluleli, uyehlisa omunye, aphakamise omunye.

8 For Yahweh holds in his hand a cup of foaming wine, which is mixed with spices, and pours it out. Surely all the wicked of the earth will drink it to the last drop.

Ngoba esandleni seNkosi kulenkezo; lewayini liphuphuma, ligcwele inhlanganiso; iyathulula okwalo; kodwa izibhidi zalo, ababi bonke bomhlaba bazazihluza bazinathe.

9 But I will continually tell what you have done; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

Kodwa mina ngizatshumayela njalonjalo, ngihlabele indumiso kuNkulunkulu kaJakobe.

10 He says, “I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous will be raised up.”

Njalo zonke impondo zababi ngizaziquma; impondo zabalungileyo zizaphakanyiswa.
