Salmos 75
1 Para o regente, conforme “altachete”; salmo e cântico de Asafe: Louvamos a ti, ó Deus; louvamos, e perto [está] o teu nome; são anunciadas as tuas maravilhas.
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 O que eu recebi, no [tempo] determinado, julgarei de forma justa.
[You have said], “I have appointed a time when I will judge people, and I will judge [everyone] fairly.
3 A terra e todos os seus moradores [são] dissolvidos; [porém] eu fortifiquei suas colunas. (Selá)
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 Eu disse aos orgulhosos: Não sejais orgulhosos! E aos perversos: Não exalteis o vosso poder!
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 Não confieis em vosso poder, nem faleis com arrogância.
Do not be arrogant, and do not speak so boastfully!’”
6 Porque a exaltação não vem do oriente, nem do ocidente, nem do deserto;
The one who judges people does not come from the east or from the west, and he does not come from the desert.
7 Mas sim [de] Deus, que é o Juiz; ele abate a um, e exalta a outro.
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 Porque o SENHOR [tem] um copo na mão; com vinho espumado, cheio de mistura, e ele o derramará; e os perversos da terra o beberão e sugarão até seus restos.
[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 Mas eu [o] anunciarei para sempre; cantarei louvores ao Deus de Jacó.
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 E cortarei todas as arrogâncias dos perversos; [mas] os rostos dos justos serão exaltados.
He will destroy the power [IDM] of wicked people, but he will cause righteous people to become more powerful.
