Psalmorum 75

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

To the Overseer. — 'Destroy not.' — A Psalm of Asaph. — A Song. We have given thanks to Thee, O God, We have given thanks, and near [is] Thy name, They have recounted Thy wonders.

2 cum accepero tempus, ego iustitias iudicabo.

When I receive an appointment, I — I do judge uprightly.

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

Melted is the earth and all its inhabitants, I — I have pondered its pillars. (Selah)

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

I have said to the boastful, 'Be not boastful,' And to the wicked, 'Raise not up a horn.'

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

Raise not up on high your horn, (Ye speak with a stiff neck.)

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

For not from the east, or from the west, Nor from the wilderness — [is] elevation.

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

But God [is] judge, This He maketh low — and this He lifteth up.

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 a cup [is] in the hand of Jehovah, And the wine hath foamed, It is full of mixture, and He poureth out of it, Only its dregs wring out, and drink, Do all the wicked of the earth,

9 Ego autem annunciabo in saeculum: cantabo Deo Iacob.

And I — I declare [it] to the age, I sing praise to the God of Jacob.

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

And all horns of the wicked I cut off, Exalted are the horns of the righteous!
