Psalmorum 75

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

To him that excelleth. Destroy not. A Psalme or song committed toAsaph. We will prayse thee, O God, we will prayse thee, for thy Name is neere: therefore they will declare thy wonderous workes.

2 cum accepero tempus, ego iustitias iudicabo.

When I shall take a conuenient time, I will iudge righteously.

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

The earth and all the inhabitantes thereof are dissolued: but I will establish the pillars of it. (Selah)

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

I saide vnto the foolish, Be not so foolish, and to the wicked, Lift not vp the horne.

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

Lift not vp your horne on high, neither speake with a stiffe necke.

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

For to come to preferment is neither from the East, nor from the West, nor from the South,

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

But God is the iudge: he maketh lowe and he maketh hie.

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

For in the hand of the Lord is a cup, and the wine is red: it is full mixt, and he powreth out of the same: surely all the wicked of the earth shall wring out and drinke the dregges thereof.

9 Ego autem annunciabo in saeculum: cantabo Deo Iacob.

But I will declare for euer, and sing prayses vnto the God of Iaakob.

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

All the hornes of the wicked also will I breake: but the hornes of the righteous shalbe exalted.
