Psalmorum 75

1 In finem, Ne corrumpas, Psalmus Cantici Asaph. Confitebimur tibi Deus: confitebimur, et invocabimus nomen tuum. Narrabimus mirabilia tua:

“For the leader of the music. To the tune of “Do not destroy.” A psalm of Asaph.” We give thanks to thee, O God! we give thanks to thee, and near is thy name; Men shall declare thy wondrous deeds!

2 cum accepero tempus, ego iustitias iudicabo.

“When I see my time, Then will I judge with equity.

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

The earth trembleth, and all her inhabitants; But I uphold her pillars.”

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

I say to the proud, Behave not proudly! To the wicked, Lift not up your horn!

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

Lift not up your horn on high, And speak not with a stiff neck!

6 Quia neque ab Oriente, neque ab Occidente, neque a desertis montibus:

For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south;

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

But it is God that judgeth; He putteth down one, and setteth up another.

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

For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup; The wine is foaming and full of spices, And of it he poureth out; Even to the dregs shall all the wicked of the earth drink it.

9 Ego autem annunciabo in sæculum: cantabo Deo Iacob.

Therefore I will extol him for ever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.

10 Et omnia cornua peccatorum confringam: et exaltabuntur cornua iusti.

“I will bring down all the power of the wicked; But the righteous shall lift up their heads.”
