Psalms 75

1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, A Psalm or Song of Asaph. To thee, O God, do we give thanks, to thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.

Til Sangmesteren. Al-tasjhet. En Salme af Asaf. En Sang.

2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

Vi takker dig, Gud, vi takker dig; de, der paakalder dit Navn, fortæller dine Undere.

3 The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved: I bear up its pillars. (Selah)

»Selv om jeg udsætter Sagen, dømmer jeg dog med Retfærd;

4 I said to the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

vakler end Jorden og alle, som bor derpaa, har jeg dog grundfæstet dens Støtter.« (Sela)

5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

Til Daarerne siger jeg: »Vær ej Daarer!« og til de gudløse: »Løft ej Hornet,

6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

løft ikke eders Horn mod Himlen, tal ikke med knejsende Nakke!«

7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

Thi hverken fra Øst eller Vest kommer Hjælp, ej heller fra Ørk eller Bjerge.

8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but its dregs, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

Nej, den, som dømmer, er Gud, han nedbøjer en, ophøjer en anden.

9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

Thi i HERRENS Haand er et Bæger med skummende, krydret Vin, han skænker i for een efter een, selv Bærmen drikker de ud; alle Jordens gudløse drikker.

10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

Men jeg skal juble evindelig, lovsynge Jakobs Gud; alle de gudløses Horn stødes af, de retfærdiges Horn skal knejse!
