Psalms 75

1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm by Asaph. A song. We give thanks to you, God. We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works.

In finem, ne corrumpas. Psalmus cantici Asaph. [Confitebimur tibi, Deus, confitebimur, et invocabimus nomen tuum; narrabimus mirabilia tua.

2 When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly.

Cum accepero tempus, ego justitias judicabo.

3 The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. (Selah)

Liquefacta est terra et omnes qui habitant in ea: ego confirmavi columnas ejus.

4 I said to the arrogant, “Don’t boast!” I said to the wicked, “Don’t lift up the horn.

Dixi iniquis: Nolite inique agere: et delinquentibus: Nolite exaltare cornu:

5 Don’t lift up your horn on high. Don’t speak with a stiff neck.”

nolite extollere in altum cornu vestrum; nolite loqui adversus Deum iniquitatem.

6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.

Quia neque ab oriente, neque ab occidente, neque a desertis montibus:

7 But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts up another.

quoniam Deus judex est. Hunc humiliat, et hunc exaltat:

8 For in the LORD’s hand there is a cup, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours it out. Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.

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 I will declare this forever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

Ego autem annuntiabo in sæculum; cantabo Deo Jacob:

10 I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

et omnia cornua peccatorum confringam, et exaltabuntur cornua justi.]
