תְהִלִּים 75

1 לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ אַל־תַּשְׁחֵ֑ת מִזְמֹ֖ור לְאָסָ֣ף שִֽׁיר׃ הֹ֘ודִ֤ינוּ לְּךָ֨ ׀ אֱ‍ֽלֹהִ֗ים הֹ֭ודִינוּ וְקָרֹ֣וב שְׁמֶ֑ךָ סִ֝פְּר֗וּ נִפְלְאֹותֶֽיךָ׃

For the music director. A psalm of Asaph. According to “Do Not Destroy.” A song. We thank you, God, we thank you because you are close beside us. People tell about the wonderful things you have done.

2 כִּ֭י אֶקַּ֣ח מֹועֵ֑ד אֲ֝נִ֗י מֵישָׁרִ֥ים אֶשְׁפֹּֽט׃

God says, “When the time I have decided comes, I will judge fairly.

3 נְֽמֹגִ֗ים אֶ֥רֶץ וְכָל־יֹשְׁבֶ֑יהָ אָנֹכִ֨י תִכַּ֖נְתִּי עַמּוּדֶ֣יהָ סֶּֽלָה׃

When the earth quakes, and all its inhabitants tremble, I am the one who holds it steady. (Selah)

4 אָמַ֣רְתִּי לַֽ֭הֹולְלִים אַל־תָּהֹ֑לּוּ וְ֝לָרְשָׁעִ֗ים אַל־תָּרִ֥ימוּ קָֽרֶן׃

To those who boast I say, ‘Don't boast!’ I tell the wicked, ‘Don't be proud!’

5 אַל־תָּרִ֣ימוּ לַמָּרֹ֣ום קַרְנְכֶ֑ם תְּדַבְּר֖וּ בְצַוָּ֣אר עָתָֽק׃

No, don't be proud and arrogant, insulting heaven.”

6 כִּ֤י לֹ֣א מִ֭מֹּוצָא וּמִֽמַּעֲרָ֑ב וְ֝לֹ֗א מִמִּדְבַּ֥ר הָרִֽים׃

For no one, from the east to the west, or from the wilderness, should think so highly of themselves.

7 כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִ֥ים שֹׁפֵ֑ט זֶ֥ה יַ֝שְׁפִּ֗יל וְזֶ֣ה יָרִֽים׃

God is the one who decides—who he will bring down and who he will lift up.

8 כִּ֤י כֹ֪וס בְּֽיַד־יְהוָ֡ה וְיַ֤יִן חָמַ֨ר ׀ מָ֥לֵא מֶסֶךְ֮ וַיַּגֵּ֪ר מִ֫זֶּ֥ה אַךְ־שְׁ֭מָרֶיהָ יִמְצ֣וּ יִשְׁתּ֑וּ כֹּ֝֗ל רִשְׁעֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃

For the Lord has a cup in his hand, full of bubbling wine mixed with spices. He pours it out, and all the wicked drink it deeply, down to the last drop.

9 וַ֭אֲנִי אַגִּ֣יד לְעֹלָ֑ם אֲ֝זַמְּרָ֗ה לֵאלֹהֵ֥י יַעֲקֹֽב׃

But I will speak about you forever. I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 וְכָל־קַרְנֵ֣י רְשָׁעִ֣ים אֲגַדֵּ֑עַ תְּ֝רֹומַ֗מְנָה קַֽרְנֹ֥ות צַדִּֽיק׃

For God says, “I will break the power of the wicked; but I will give my support to those who do what is good.”
