< Salmos 75 >
1 A ti, oh Dios, te alabamos, a ti alabamos; y los que honran tu nombre aclaran tus obras de poder.
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 haya llegado el tiempo correcto, seré el juez en rectitud.
[You have said], “I have appointed a time when I will judge people, and I will judge [everyone] fairly.
3 Cuando la tierra y toda su gente se debilitan, yo soy el sostén de 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 Digo a los hombres de soberbia: que se haya ido tu orgullo, y a los pecadores: no se levante tu orgullo.
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 se levante tu orgullo; no dejes más palabras de soberbia en tus cuellos estirados.
Do not be arrogant, and do not speak so boastfully!’”
6 Porque el honor no viene del este, ni del oeste, ni del sur;
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, a éste humilla 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 del Señor hay una copa, y el vino es rojo; está bien mezclado, desbordando de su mano: hará que todos los pecadores de la tierra se apoderen de él, hasta la última gota.
[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 estaré siempre lleno de gozo, haciendo canciones de alabanza 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 Por él cortará todos los poderíos de los pecadores; pero él poder de los rectos se levantará.
He will destroy the power [IDM] of wicked people, but he will cause righteous people to become more powerful.
