Psalmorum 75
1 Psalmus Cantici Asaph, in finem, ne corrumpas. Confitebimur tibi Deus: confitebimur, et invocabimus nomen tuum. Narrabimus mirabilia tua:
We give thanks to you; our God, we thank you. You are close to us, and we proclaim to others the wonderful things that you have done [for us].
2 cum accepero tempus, ego iustitias iudicabo.
[You have said], “I have appointed a time when I will judge people, and I will judge [everyone] fairly.
3 Liquefacta est terra, et omnes qui habitant in ea: ego confirmavi columnas eius.
When the earth shakes and all the creatures on the earth tremble, I am the one who will (keep its foundations steady/prevent it from being destroyed).
4 Dixi iniquis: Nolite inique agere: et delinquentibus: Nolite exaltare cornu:
I say to people who (boast/talk proudly about themselves), ‘Stop bragging!’ and I say to wicked people, ‘Do not proudly [do things to] show how great you are [IDM]!
5 Nolite extollere in altum cornu vestrum: nolite loqui adversus Deum iniquitatem.
Do not be arrogant, and do not speak so boastfully!’”
6 Quia neque ab Oriente, neque ab Occidente, neque a desertis montibus:
The one who judges people does not come from the east or from the west, and he does not come from the desert.
7 quoniam Deus iudex est. Hunc humiliat, et hunc exaltat:
God is the one who judges people; he says that some have sinned and must be punished, and that others have not done what is wrong.
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.
[It is as though] Yahweh holds a cup in his hand; it is filled with wine that [has spices] mixed in it [to cause those who drink it to become more drunk]; and when Yahweh pours it out, he will force all the wicked people to drink it; they will drink every drop of it, [which means that he will give them all the punishment that they deserve].
9 Ego autem annunciabo in saeculum: cantabo Deo Iacob.
But [as for me], I will never stop saying what the God whom Jacob [worshiped has done]; I will never quit singing to praise him.
10 Et omnia cornua peccatorum confringam: et exaltabuntur cornua iusti.
He will destroy the power [IDM] of wicked people, but he will cause righteous people to become more powerful.
