Psalmorum 75

1 In finem, ne corrumpas. Psalmus cantici Asaph. [Confitebimur tibi, Deus, confitebimur, et invocabimus nomen tuum; narrabimus mirabilia tua.

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 Cum accepero tempus, ego justitias judicabo.

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

3 Liquefacta est terra et omnes qui habitant in ea: ego confirmavi columnas ejus.

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

4 Dixi iniquis: Nolite inique agere: et delinquentibus: Nolite exaltare cornu:

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

5 nolite extollere in altum cornu vestrum; nolite loqui adversus Deum iniquitatem.

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

6 Quia neque ab oriente, neque ab occidente, neque a desertis montibus:

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

7 quoniam Deus judex est. Hunc humiliat, et hunc exaltat:

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

8 quia calix in manu Domini vini meri, plenus misto. Et inclinavit ex hoc in hoc; verumtamen fæx ejus non est exinanita: bibent omnes peccatores terræ.

For in Yahweh’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 Ego autem annuntiabo in sæculum; cantabo Deo Jacob:

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

10 et omnia cornua peccatorum confringam, et exaltabuntur cornua justi.]

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