< Psalms 75 >

1 To the Overseer. — 'Destroy not.' — A Psalm of Asaph. — A Song. We have given thanks to Thee, O God, We have given thanks, and near [is] Thy name, They have recounted Thy wonders.
Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Al-tasheth. Salamo nataon’ i Asafa. Tonon-kira. Hisaoranay Hianao, Andriamanitra ô; eny, hisaoranay Hianao; fa akaiky ny anaranao; mitory ny fahagagana ataonao ny olona.
2 When I receive an appointment, I — I do judge uprightly.
Fa ho avy tokoa amin’ ny fotoana Aho; eny, Izaho no hitsara marina.
3 Melted is the earth and all its inhabitants, I — I have pondered its pillars. (Selah)
Mihorohoro ny tany sy ny mponina rehetra eo aminy, nefa Izaho no nanorina ny andriny. (Sela)
4 I have said to the boastful, 'Be not boastful,' And to the wicked, 'Raise not up a horn.'
Hoy izaho tamin’ ny mpirehareha: aza mirehareha, ary tamin’ ny ratsy fanahy: aza manandra-tandroka;
5 Raise not up on high your horn, (Ye speak with a stiff neck.)
Aza manandratra ny tandrokareo ho avo; ary aza miteny sahisahy amin’ ny fahamafian-katoka.
6 For not from the east, or from the west, Nor from the wilderness — [is] elevation.
Fa tsy avy any atsinanana, na avy any andrefana, na avy any atsimo, ny fisandratana.
7 But God [is] judge, This He maketh low — and this He lifteth up.
Fa Andriamanitra no Mpitsara; mampietry ny anankiray Izy ary manandratra ny anankiray kosa.
8 For a cup [is] in the hand of Jehovah, And the wine hath foamed, It is full of mixture, and He poureth out of it, Only its dregs wring out, and drink, Do all the wicked of the earth,
Fa misy kapoaka eo an-tànan’ i Jehovah, feno divay mandroatra miharoharo zavatra iny, ka ampisotroany; eny, ny ratsy fanahy rehetra amin’ ny tany dia hitroka ny faikany.
9 And I — I declare [it] to the age, I sing praise to the God of Jacob.
Fa izaho hanambara izany mandrakizay, ka hankalaza an’ Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba.
10 And all horns of the wicked I cut off, Exalted are the horns of the righteous!
Ary ny tandroky ny ratsy fanahy rehetra hotapahiko; fa ny tandroky ny marina kosa no hasandratra.
