اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 75

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. عَلَى «لَا تُهْلِكْ». مَزْمُورٌ لِآسَافَ. تَسْبِيحَةٌ نَحْمَدُكَ، يَا ٱللهُ نَحْمَدُكَ، وَٱسْمُكَ قَرِيبٌ. يُحَدِّثُونَ بِعَجَائِبِكَ.

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].

٢ 2 «لِأَنِّي أُعَيِّنُ مِيعَادًا. أَنَا بِٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَاتِ أَقْضِي.

[You have said], “I have appointed a time when I will judge people, and I will judge [everyone] fairly.

٣ 3 ذَابَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَكُلُّ سُكَّانِهَا. أَنَا وَزَنْتُ أَعْمِدَتَهَا. سِلَاهْ.

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).

٤ 4 قُلْتُ لِلْمُفْتَخِرِينَ: لَا تَفْتَخِرُوا. وَلِلْأَشْرَارِ: لَا تَرْفَعُوا قَرْنًا.

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]!

٥ 5 لَا تَرْفَعُوا إِلَى ٱلْعُلَى قَرْنَكُمْ. لَا تَتَكَلَّمُوا بِعُنُقٍ مُتَصَلِّبٍ».

Do not be arrogant, and do not speak so boastfully!’”

٦ 6 لِأَنَّهُ لَا مِنَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَلَا مِنَ ٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَلَا مِنْ بَرِّيَّةِ ٱلْجِبَالِ.

The one who judges people does not come from the east or from the west, and he does not come from the desert.

٧ 7 وَلَكِنَّ ٱللهَ هُوَ ٱلْقَاضِي. هَذَا يَضَعُهُ وَهَذَا يَرْفَعُهُ.

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.

٨ 8 لِأَنَّ فِي يَدِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَأْسًا وَخَمْرُهَا مُخْتَمِرَةٌ. مَلآنةٌ شَرَابًا مَمْزُوجًا. وَهُوَ يَسْكُبُ مِنْهَا. لَكِنْ عَكَرُهَا يَمَصُّهُ، يَشْرَبُهُ كُلُّ أَشْرَارِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

[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].

٩ 9 أَمَّا أَنَا فَأُخْبِرُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. أُرَنِّمُ لِإِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ.

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.

١٠ 10 وَكُلَّ قُرُونِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ أَعْضِبُ. قُرُونُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ تَنْتَصِبُ.

He will destroy the power [IDM] of wicked people, but he will cause righteous people to become more powerful.
