升降黜陟权操神

75 亚萨的诗歌,交于伶长。调用休要毁坏。

神啊,我们称谢你,我们称谢你!因为你的名相近,人都述说你奇妙的作为。
“我到了所定的日期,必按正直施行审判。
地和其上的居民都消化了,我曾立了地的柱子。(细拉)
我对狂傲人说:‘不要行事狂傲!’对凶恶人说:‘不要举角,
不要把你们的角高举,不要挺着颈项说话!’”
因为高举非从东,非从西,也非从南而来;
唯有神断定,他使这人降卑,使那人升高。
耶和华手里有杯,其中的酒起沫,杯内满了掺杂的酒。他倒出来,地上的恶人必都喝这酒的渣滓,而且喝尽。
但我要宣扬,直到永远,我要歌颂雅各的神。
10 “恶人一切的角,我要砍断;唯有义人的角,必被高举。”

(A psalm and a song by Asaph for the music leader. To the tune “Don't Destroy.”[a])

Praise God for All He Has Done

Our God, we thank you
    for being so near to us!
Everyone celebrates
    your wonderful deeds.

You have set a time
    to judge with fairness.
The earth trembles,
    and its people shake;
you alone keep
    its foundations firm.
You tell every bragger,
    “Stop bragging!”
And to the wicked you say,
    “Don't boast of your power!
Stop bragging! Quit telling me
    how great you are.”

Our Lord and our God,
    victory doesn't come
from the east or the west
    or from the desert.
You are the one who judges.
You can take away power
    and give it to others.
You hold in your hand
a cup filled with wine,[b]
    strong and foaming.
You will pour out some
for every sinful person
    on this earth,
and they will have to drink
    until it is gone.
But I will always tell about
you, the God of Jacob,
    and I will sing your praise.

10 Our Lord, you will destroy
    the power of evil people,
but you will give strength
    to those who are good.
