Psalms 75

1 Fún adarí orin. Tí ohùn, “Má ṣe parun.” Saamu ti Asafu. Orin. A fi ìyìn fún ọ, Ọlọ́run, a yìn ọ́, nítorí orúkọ rẹ súnmọ́ tòsí; àwọn ènìyàn ń sọ ti ìyanu rẹ.

“For the leader of the music. To the tune of “Do not destroy.” A psalm of Asaph.” We give thanks to thee, O God! we give thanks to thee, and near is thy name; Men shall declare thy wondrous deeds!

2 Ìwọ wí pé, “Mo yan àkókò ìyàsọ́tọ̀; Èmi ni ẹni tí ń ṣe ìdájọ́ òdodo.

“When I see my time, Then will I judge with equity.

3 Nígbà tí ayé àti àwọn ènìyàn ibẹ̀ wárìrì, Èmi ni mo di òpó rẹ̀ mú ṣinṣin.

The earth trembleth, and all her inhabitants; But I uphold her pillars.”

4 Èmí wí fún àwọn agbéraga pé, ẹ má ṣe gbéraga mọ́; àti sí ènìyàn búburú; ẹ má ṣe gbé ìwo yín sókè.

I say to the proud, Behave not proudly! To the wicked, Lift not up your horn!

5 Ẹ má ṣe gbe ìwo yín sókè sí ọ̀run; ẹ má ṣe sọ̀rọ̀ pẹ̀lú ọrùn líle.”

Lift not up your horn on high, And speak not with a stiff neck!

6 Nítorí ìgbéga kò ti ìlà-oòrùn wá tàbí ní ìwọ̀-oòrùn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì í ṣe láti gúúsù wá.

For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south;

7 Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run ni olùdájọ́; Ó ń rẹ ẹnìkan sílẹ̀, ó sì ń gbé ẹlòmíràn ga.

But it is God that judgeth; He putteth down one, and setteth up another.

8 Ní ọwọ́ Olúwa ni ago kan wà, ọtí wáìnì náà sì pọ́n, ó kún fún àdàlú, ó fún ọtí àdàlú tí a pò mọ́ òórùn dídùn tí ó tú jáde, àwọn ènìyàn búburú ayé gbogbo mú u pátápátá.

For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup; The wine is foaming and full of spices, And of it he poureth out; Even to the dregs shall all the wicked of the earth drink it.

9 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi, ó máa ròyìn rẹ títí láé; èmi ó kọrin ìyìn sí Ọlọ́run Jakọbu.

Therefore I will extol him for ever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.

10 Èmi ó gé ìwo gbogbo ènìyàn búburú, ṣùgbọ́n ìwo àwọn olódodo ni a ó gbéga.

“I will bring down all the power of the wicked; But the righteous shall lift up their heads.”
