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.

Načelniku godbe: "Ne pogubi!" psalm Asafu in pesem. Slavimo te, Bog, slavimo; ker blizu je ime tvoje, čuda tvoja oznanjamo.

2 When I receive an appointment, I — I do judge uprightly.

Ko bodem sprejel zbor, sodil bodem najbolj pravično.

3 Melted is the earth and all its inhabitants, I — I have pondered its pillars. (Selah)

Zemlje in vseh njenih prebivalcev stebre omajane utrdil bodem jaz.

4 I have said to the boastful, 'Be not boastful,' And to the wicked, 'Raise not up a horn.'

Govoreč blaznim: Ne bodite blazni, in krivičnim: Ne dvigujte roga.

5 Raise not up on high your horn, (Ye speak with a stiff neck.)

Ne dvigujte roga svojega zoper Najvišjega; ne govorite s trdim vratom.

6 For not from the east, or from the west, Nor from the wilderness — [is] elevation.

Ker od vzhoda ali od zahoda, tudi od puščave ni povišanja.

7 But God [is] judge, This He maketh low — and this He lifteth up.

Temuč Bog sodnik: tega poniža, onega poviša.

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,

Ker čaša je v roki Gospodovi in vino kalno, polno mešanice, iz katere je izlil; vendar goščo njeno, katero bodo iztisnili, pili bodo vsi krivični na zemlji.

9 And I — I declare [it] to the age, I sing praise to the God of Jacob.

Jaz torej naj oznanjam vekomaj, prepevam Bogu Jakobovemu:

10 And all horns of the wicked I cut off, Exalted are the horns of the righteous!

In vse rogove bodem polomil krivičnim; zvišajo naj se pravičnemu rogovi.
