Psalmorum 75

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

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 Cum accepero tempus, ego justitias judicabo.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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 Ego autem annuntiabo in sæculum; cantabo Deo Jacob:

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

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

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