Sòm 75

1 Pou direktè koral la; pou jwe a melodi “Pa Detwi” Yon Sòm Asaph, yon Chanson Nou bay remèsiman a Ou menm, O Bondye, Nou bay remèsiman, paske Non Ou toupre. Moun yo fè deklarasyon zèv mèvèy Ou yo.

We yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you, God. We yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise·, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works.

2 “Lè Mwen menm fikse yon tan ki apwente, Mwen va jije avèk jistis.

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

3 Latè avèk tout sa ki ladann souke. Se Mwen menm ki kenbe pilye li yo.” Tan

The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

4 Mwen te di a awogan yo: “Pa vin ògeye!” A mechan an: “Pa leve kòn nan.

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

5 Pa leve kòn ou anwo. Pa pale kou rèd avèk ògèy ensolan.”

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

6 Paske ni sòti nan lès, ni nan lwès, ni bò kote dezè a, kab gen fòs pou leve moun anwo;

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

7 Men Bondye se jij la. Li fè yon moun desann, e li leve yon lòt fè l wo.

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

8 Paske gen yon tas nan men SENYÈ a, e diven an ap kimen. Li byen mele e Bondye vide fè l sòti ladann. Anverite, tout mechan yo oblije bwè l jis rive nan dènye ti gout li.

For in Adonai’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.

9 Men pou mwen, mwen va deklare sa, jis pou tout tan. Mwen va chante lwanj a Bondye Jacob la.

But I will declare this forever: I will sing zahmar ·musical praise· to the God of Jacob [Supplanter].

10 Tout kòn a mechan yo, Mwen va koupe fè yo sòti nèt. Men kòn a moun ladwati yo va leve wo.

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