< Psalmorum 75 >
1 Psalmus Cantici Asaph, in finem, ne corrumpas. 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, "Do not boast." I said to the wicked, "Do not lift up the horn.
5 Nolite extollere in altum cornu vestrum: nolite loqui adversus Deum iniquitatem.
Do not lift up your horn on high. Do not 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 faex eius non est exinanita: bibent omnes peccatores terrae.
For in the hand of the LORD 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 saeculum: 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.
