< Psalmorum 75 >
1 in finem ne corrumpas psalmus Asaph cantici 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 diapsalma
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 facere 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 mixto et inclinavit ex hoc in hoc verum fex 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 adnuntiabo 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.
