Psalms 75

1 For the choirmaster: To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm of Asaph. A song. We give thanks to You, O God; we give thanks, for Your Name is near. The people declare Your wondrous works.

1 Ee Mungu, tunakushukuru, tunakushukuru wewe, kwa kuwa jina lako li karibu; watu husimulia matendo yako ya ajabu.

2 “When I choose a time, I will judge fairly.

2 Unasema, “Ninachagua wakati maalum; ni mimi nihukumuye kwa haki.

3 When the earth and all its dwellers quake, it is I who bear up its pillars. Selah

3 Wakati dunia na watu wake wote inapotetemeka, ni mimi ninayezishikilia nguzo zake imara.

4 I say to the proud, ‘Do not boast,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn.

4 Kwa wale wenye majivuno ninasema, ‘Msijisifu tena,’ kwa wale waovu, ‘Msiinue pembe zenu.

5 Do not lift up your horn against heaven or speak with an outstretched neck.’”

5 Msiinue pembe zenu dhidi ya mbingu; msiseme kwa shingo zilizonyooshwa.’”

6 For exaltation comes neither from east nor west, nor out of the desert,

6 Hakuna yeyote atokaye mashariki wala magharibi au kutoka jangwani awezaye kumkweza mwanadamu.

7 but it is God who judges; He brings down one and exalts another.

7 Bali Mungu ndiye ahukumuye: Humshusha huyu na kumkweza mwingine.

8 For a cup is in the hand of the LORD, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours from His cup, and all the wicked of the earth drink it down to the dregs.

8 Mkononi mwa Bwana kuna kikombe kilichojaa mvinyo unaotoka povu uliochanganywa na vikolezo; huumimina, nao waovu wote wa dunia hunywa mpaka tone la mwisho.

9 But I will proclaim Him forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.

9 Bali mimi, nitatangaza hili milele; nitaimba sifa kwa Mungu wa Yakobo.

10 “All the horns of the wicked I will cut off, but the horns of the righteous will be exalted.”

10 Nitazikatilia mbali pembe za waovu wote, bali pembe za wenye haki zitainuliwa juu.
