Psalmorum 75

1 In finem, ne corrumpas. Psalmus cantici Asaph. [Confitebimur tibi, Deus, confitebimur, et invocabimus nomen tuum; narrabimus mirabilia tua.

For the leader; al tashheth. A psalm of Asaph, a song. We praise you, God, we praise you: we would call on your name and declare your wonders.

2 Cum accepero tempus, ego justitias judicabo.

‘At the time I choose, I will judge fairly.

3 Liquefacta est terra et omnes qui habitant in ea: ego confirmavi columnas ejus.

Though earth melt and all her inhabitants, it is I who keep steady her pillars.’ (Selah)

4 Dixi iniquis: Nolite inique agere: et delinquentibus: Nolite exaltare cornu:

I say to the boasters, ‘Boast not’; to the wicked, ‘Lift not up your horn:

5 nolite extollere in altum cornu vestrum; nolite loqui adversus Deum iniquitatem.

lift not your horn on high, speak not boldly against the Rock.’

6 Quia neque ab oriente, neque ab occidente, neque a desertis montibus:

For not from east nor west, not from desert nor mountains;

7 quoniam Deus judex est. Hunc humiliat, et hunc exaltat:

but God himself is the judge, humbling one and exalting another.

8 quia calix in manu Domini vini meri, plenus misto. Et inclinavit ex hoc in hoc; verumtamen fæx ejus non est exinanita: bibent omnes peccatores terræ.

In the hand of the Lord is a cup foaming wine, richly spiced. Out of this he pours a draught, and all the wicked of earth must drain it down to the dregs.

9 Ego autem annuntiabo in sæculum; cantabo Deo Jacob:

But I will rejoice forever, singing praise to the God of Jacob.

10 et omnia cornua peccatorum confringam, et exaltabuntur cornua justi.]

I will hew all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the just shall be lifted.
