Psaumes 75
1 Pour le chef musicien. Sur l'air de « Do Not Destroy ». Un psaume d'Asaph. Une chanson. Nous te rendons grâce, Dieu. Nous rendons grâce, car ton Nom est proche. Les hommes racontent tes merveilles.
We give thanks to you; our God, we thank you. You are close to us, and we proclaim to others the wonderful things that you have done [for us].
2 Quand je choisis l'heure prévue, Je jugerai de manière irréprochable.
[You have said], “I have appointed a time when I will judge people, and I will judge [everyone] fairly.
3 La terre et tous ses habitants tremblent. Je tiens fermement ses piliers. (Selah)
When the earth shakes and all the creatures on the earth tremble, I am the one who will (keep its foundations steady/prevent it from being destroyed).
4 J'ai dit aux arrogants: « Ne te vante pas! » J'ai dit aux méchants: « N'élevez pas la corne.
I say to people who (boast/talk proudly about themselves), ‘Stop bragging!’ and I say to wicked people, ‘Do not proudly [do things to] show how great you are [IDM]!
5 N'élevez pas votre cor en haut. Ne parlez pas avec un cou raide. »
Do not be arrogant, and do not speak so boastfully!’”
6 Car ni de l'est, ni de l'ouest, ni encore du sud, vient l'exaltation.
The one who judges people does not come from the east or from the west, and he does not come from the desert.
7 Mais Dieu est le juge. Il renverse l'un et relève l'autre.
God is the one who judges people; he says that some have sinned and must be punished, and that others have not done what is wrong.
8 Car il y a une coupe dans la main de Yahvé, pleine de vin mousseux mélangé à des épices. Il le déverse. En effet, les méchants de la terre boivent et le boivent jusqu'à la lie.
[It is as though] Yahweh holds a cup in his hand; it is filled with wine that [has spices] mixed in it [to cause those who drink it to become more drunk]; and when Yahweh pours it out, he will force all the wicked people to drink it; they will drink every drop of it, [which means that he will give them all the punishment that they deserve].
9 Mais je le déclarerai à jamais: Je chanterai les louanges du Dieu de Jacob.
But [as for me], I will never stop saying what the God whom Jacob [worshiped has done]; I will never quit singing to praise him.
10 Je couperai toutes les cornes des méchants, mais les cornes des justes s'élèveront.
He will destroy the power [IDM] of wicked people, but he will cause righteous people to become more powerful.
