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.

Tebi, oh Bog, dajemo zahvaljevanje, tebi dajemo zahvaljevanje, kajti tvoja čudovita dela oznanjajo, da je tvoje ime blizu.

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

Ko bom sprejel skupnost, bom sodil iskreno.

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

Zemlja in vsi njeni prebivalci se raztapljajo, jaz podpiram njene stebre. (Sela)

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

Bedakom sem rekel: »Ne ravnajte nespametno« in zlobnim: »Ne dvigajte roga.

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

Svojega roga ne dvigajte visoko gor. Ne govorite s trdim vratom.«

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

Kajti povišanje ne prihaja niti od vzhoda niti od zahoda niti od juga.

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

Toda Bog je sodnik, odstavlja enega in postavlja drugega.

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.

Kajti v Gospodovi roki je čaša in vino je rdeče, polno mešanice; in izliva iz istega, toda te droži bodo vsi zlobneži zemlje izželi in jih popili.

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

Toda jaz bom razglašal na veke, prepeval bom hvalnice Jakobovemu Bogu.

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

Tudi vse rogove zlobnih bom odrezal; toda rogovi pravičnih bodo povišani.
