Psaltaren 75
1 En Psalm och visa Assaphs, att han icke förgicks, till att föresjunga. Vi tacke dig, Gud, vi tacke dig, och förkunne din under, att ditt Namn så när är.
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 Ty i sinom tid skall jag rätt döma.
[You have said], “I have appointed a time when I will judge people, and I will judge [everyone] fairly.
3 Jorden bäfvar, och alle de derpå bo; men jag håller hennes pelare stadiga. (Sela)
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 Jag sade till de stortaliga: Berömmer eder icke så; och till de ogudaktiga: Trugens icke uppå välde;
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 Trugens icke så fast uppå edart välde; taler icke så halsstyft.
Do not be arrogant, and do not speak so boastfully!’”
6 Det hafver ingen nöd hvarken af östan eller vestan, eller af de berg i öknene.
The one who judges people does not come from the east or from the west, and he does not come from the desert.
7 Ty Gud är domare; denna förnedrar han, och den andra upphöjer han.
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 Ty Herren hafver en skål i handene, och med starkt vin fullt inskänkt, och skänker derutaf; men de ogudaktige måste alle dricka, och utsupa dräggena.
[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 Men jag vill förkunna evinnerliga, och lofsjunga Jacobs Gudi;
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 Och vill sönderbryta allt de ogudaktigas våld; att de rättfärdigas välde skall upphöjdt varda.
He will destroy the power [IDM] of wicked people, but he will cause righteous people to become more powerful.
