第 75 篇
上帝是審判者
亞薩的詩,交給樂長,調用「休要毀壞」。
1上帝啊,
我們稱謝你,我們稱謝你,
因為你與我們同在。
人們都述說你奇妙的作為。
2你說:「我已定好時間,
我必秉公審判。
3大地震動,世人戰抖的時候,
是我使地的根基穩固。(細拉)
4我警告狂妄人不要再狂傲,
告誡惡人不要再張狂。
5不要再狂妄自大,
不要說話傲氣沖天。」
6人的尊貴不是來自東方,
不是來自西方,
也不是來自曠野。
7決定人尊貴的是上帝:
祂擢升這個,貶抑那個。
8耶和華手中的杯裡盛滿泛著泡沫、精工調製的怒酒。
祂倒出怒酒,讓世上的惡人喝得一滴不剩。
9我要永遠宣揚祂的作為,
我要頌讚雅各的上帝。
10上帝必剷除惡人的勢力,
使義人充滿力量。
Psalm 75In Hebrew texts 75:1-10 is numbered 75:2-11.
For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm of Asaph. A song.
1We praise you, God,
we praise you, for your Name is near;
people tell of your wonderful deeds.
2You say, “I choose the appointed time;
it is I who judge with equity.
3When the earth and all its people quake,
it is I who hold its pillars firm.75:3 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here.
4To the arrogant I say, ‘Boast no more,’
and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horns.75:4 Horns here symbolize strength; also in verses 5 and 10.
5Do not lift your horns against heaven;
do not speak so defiantly.’ ”
6No one from the east or the west
or from the desert can exalt themselves.
7It is God who judges:
He brings one down, he exalts another.
8In the hand of the Lord is a cup
full of foaming wine mixed with spices;
he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth
drink it down to its very dregs.
9As for me, I will declare this forever;
I will sing praise to the God of Jacob,
10who says, “I will cut off the horns of all the wicked,
but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.”
