Psalms 75

1 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].

למנצח אל-תשחת מזמור לאסף שיר ב הודינו לך אלהים--הודינו וקרוב שמך ספרו נפלאותיך

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

כי אקח מועד אני מישרים אשפט

3 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).

נמגים ארץ וכל-ישביה אנכי תכנתי עמודיה סלה

4 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]!

אמרתי להוללים אל-תהלו ולרשעים אל-תרימו קרן

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

אל-תרימו למרום קרנכם תדברו בצואר עתק

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

כי לא ממוצא וממערב ולא ממדבר הרים

7 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.

כי-אלהים שפט זה ישפיל וזה ירים

8 [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].

כי כוס ביד-יהוה ויין חמר מלא מסך-- ויגר מזה אך-שמריה ימצו ישתו כל רשעי-ארץ

9 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.

ואני אגיד לעלם אזמרה לאלהי יעקב

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

וכל-קרני רשעים אגדע תרוממנה קרנות צדיק
