God Will Judge with Equity

To the choirmaster: according to (A)Do Not Destroy. (B)A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

75 We give thanks to you, O God;
    we give thanks, for your name is (C)near.
We[a] recount your wondrous deeds.

“At (D)the set time that I appoint
    I will judge (E)with equity.
When the earth (F)totters, and all its inhabitants,
    it is I who keep steady its (G)pillars. Selah
I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’
    and to the wicked, (H)‘Do not lift up your horn;
do not lift up your horn on high,
    or speak with haughty neck.’”

For not from the east or from the west
    and not from the wilderness comes (I)lifting up,
but it is (J)God who executes judgment,
    (K)putting down one and lifting up another.
(L)For in the hand of the Lord there is (M)a cup
    with foaming wine, (N)well mixed,
and he pours out from it,
    and all the wicked of the earth
    shall (O)drain it down to the dregs.

But I will declare it forever;
    I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 (P)All the horns of the wicked I will cut off,
    (Q)but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

  1. Psalm 75:1 Hebrew They

Varning för stolthet och skrytsamhet

1-2 Vi tackar dig, Herre! Vi tackar dig! Dina stora under är bevis på att du bryr dig om oss.

Ja, säger Herren, när den tid, som jag bestämt, är inne, ska jag straffa de onda!

Fastän jorden skakar och alla dess innevånare darrar av rädsla så är dess grund stadig, för jag själv har satt den på plats!

Jag varnade de stolta för att vara så storordiga,

och jag sa till de ogudaktiga att sluta med sitt skryt.

7-8 För framgång och makt kommer inte genom någon människa, utan enbart från Gud. Han befordrar den ene och avsätter den andre.

I sin hand håller Herren en bägare med starkt, bedövande vin. Det är hans vredesdom, som alla som föraktat honom måste dricka. De måste tömma bägaren till sista droppen.

10 Men jag ska prisa Jakobs Gud i evighet.

11 Jag ska göra slut på de ogudaktigas ondska, säger Herren, och i stället ska jag ge makt och anseende till de gudfruktiga.

God Humbles the Proud, but Exalts the Righteous.

For the music director; set to [a]Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song.

75 We (A)give thanks to You, God, we give thanks,
For Your name is (B)near;
People declare (C)Your wondrous works.
“When I select an (D)appointed time,
It is I who (E)judge fairly.
The (F)earth and all who inhabit it [b]are unsteady;
It is I who have firmly set its (G)pillars. Selah
I said to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’
And to the wicked, ‘(H)Do not lift up the horn;
Do not lift up your horn on high,
(I)Do not speak with insolent [c]pride.’”

For not from the east, nor from the west,
Nor from the [d](J)desert comes exaltation;
But (K)God is the Judge;
He (L)puts down one and exalts another.
For a (M)cup is in the hand of the Lord, and the wine foams;
It is [e](N)well mixed, and He pours out of this;
Certainly all the wicked of the earth must drain and (O)drink its dregs.

But as for me, I will (P)declare it forever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 And [f]He will cut off all the (Q)horns of the wicked,
But (R)the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.
