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 iustitias iudicabo.

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

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

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 iudex 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 eius non est exinanita: bibent omnes peccatores terræ.

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 Ego autem annunciabo in sæculum: cantabo Deo Iacob.

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

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

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