תְהִלִּים 75

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

For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm by Asaph. A song. We give thanks to you, God. We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works.

2 כִּ֭י אֶקַּ֣ח מֹועֵ֑ד אֲ֝נִ֗י מֵישָׁרִ֥ים אֶשְׁפֹּֽט׃

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

3 נְֽמֹגִ֗ים אֶ֥רֶץ וְכָל־יֹשְׁבֶ֑יהָ אָנֹכִ֨י תִכַּ֖נְתִּי עַמּוּדֶ֣יהָ סֶּֽלָה׃

The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. (Selah)

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

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

5 אַל־תָּרִ֣ימוּ לַמָּרֹ֣ום קַרְנְכֶ֑ם תְּדַבְּר֖וּ בְצַוָּ֣אר עָתָֽק׃

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

6 כִּ֤י לֹ֣א מִ֭מֹּוצָא וּמִֽמַּעֲרָ֑ב וְ֝לֹ֗א מִמִּדְבַּ֥ר הָרִֽים׃

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

7 כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִ֥ים שֹׁפֵ֑ט זֶ֥ה יַ֝שְׁפִּ֗יל וְזֶ֣ה יָרִֽים׃

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

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

For in the LORD’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 וַ֭אֲנִי אַגִּ֣יד לְעֹלָ֑ם אֲ֝זַמְּרָ֗ה לֵאלֹהֵ֥י יַעֲקֹֽב׃

But I will declare this forever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 וְכָל־קַרְנֵ֣י רְשָׁעִ֣ים אֲגַדֵּ֑עַ תְּ֝רֹומַ֗מְנָה קַֽרְנֹ֥ות צַדִּֽיק׃

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