Psalms 75
1 `To the ouercomere; leese thou not the salm of the song of Asaph. God, we schulen knouleche to thee, `we schulen knouleche; and we schulen inwardli clepe thi name.
For the end, Destroy not, a Psalm of a Song for Asaph. We will give thanks to thee, O God, we will give thanks, and call upon thy name: I will declare all thy wonderful works.
2 We schulen telle thi merueilis; whanne Y schal take tyme, Y schal deme riytfulnesses.
When I shall take a set time, I will judge righteously.
3 The erthe is meltid, and alle that duellen ther ynne; Y confermede the pileris therof.
The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it: I have strengthened its pillars. (Pause)
4 I seide to wickid men, Nyle ye do wickidli; and to trespassouris, Nyle ye enhaunce the horn.
I said unto the transgressors, Do not transgress; and to the sinners, Lift not up the horn.
5 Nyle ye reise an hiy youre horn; nyle ye speke wickidnesse ayens God.
Lift not up your horn on high; speak not unrighteousness against God.
6 For nether fro the eest, nethir fro the west, nethir fro desert hillis; for God is the iuge.
For [good comes] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert mountains.
7 He mekith this man, and enhaunsith hym; for a cuppe of cleene wyn ful of meddling is in the hoond of the Lord.
For God is the judge; he puts down one, and raises up another.
8 And he bowide of this in to that; netheles the drast therof is not anyntischid; alle synneris of erthe schulen drinke therof.
For [there is] a cup in the hand of the Lord, full of unmingled wine; and he has turned [it] from side to side, but its dregs have not been wholly poured out; all the sinners of the earth shall drink [them].
9 Forsothe Y schal telle in to the world; Y schal synge to God of Jacob.
But I will exult for ever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 And Y schal breke alle the hornes of synneris; and the hornes of the iust man schulen be enhaunsid.
And I will break all the horns of sinners; but the horns of the righteous one shall be exalted.
