Salmos 75
1 Para el músico jefe. Con la melodía de “No destruyas”. Un salmo de Asaf. Una canción. Te damos gracias, Dios. Damos gracias, porque tu Nombre está cerca. Los hombres cuentan tus obras maravillosas.
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 Cuando elijo la hora señalada, Yo juzgaré sin culpa.
[You have said], “I have appointed a time when I will judge people, and I will judge [everyone] fairly.
3 La tierra y todos sus habitantes tiemblan. Sostengo firmemente sus pilares. (Selah)
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 Dije a los arrogantes: “¡No te jactes!” Les dije a los malvados: “No levanten el cuerno.
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 No levantes tu cuerno en alto. No hables con el cuello rígido”.
Do not be arrogant, and do not speak so boastfully!’”
6 Porque ni desde el este, ni desde el oeste, ni aún del sur, viene la exaltación.
The one who judges people does not come from the east or from the west, and he does not come from the desert.
7 Pero Dios es el juez. Deja a uno y levanta a otro.
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 en la mano de Yahvé hay una copa, lleno de vino espumoso mezclado con especias. Lo vierte. En efecto, los malvados de la tierra beben y se lo beben hasta las heces.
[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 Pero yo lo declararé para siempre: Cantaré alabanzas al Dios de Jacob.
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 Cortaré todos los cuernos de los malvados, pero los cuernos de los justos serán levantados.
He will destroy the power [IDM] of wicked people, but he will cause righteous people to become more powerful.
