Slava Dievam—kas taisni tiesā.
1 Dziesma dziedātāju vadonim. Pēc meldijas: „Nepazudini!“ Asafa psalms.
2 Mēs Tev pateicam, Dievs, mēs pateicamies Tev! Tavi brīnuma darbi liecina, ka Tavs vārds ir mums tuvu.
3 „Kad īstais laiks man būs šķitis pienākam, tad Es jo taisni tiesāšu,
4 Kaut vai aiz bailēm trīcētu zeme un visi tās iedzīvotāji. Es tomēr stingri turēšu savās rokās tās balstus. (Sela).
5 Es uzsaucu lielīgajiem: Nelielieties! un bezdievjiem: Neceliet savu galvu tik augstu!
6 Neceliet savu galvu tik augstu, nerunājiet pārgalvīgi un iecirtīgi!“
7 Jo ne no rītiem nedz no vakariem un ne no tuksneša kalniem nāk palīdzība,
8 Bet Dievs ir visu lietu izsprie-dējs: vienu Viņš pazemo, otru Viņš paaugstina.
9 Jo tam Kungam ir rokā kauss ar stipru putojošu un reibinātāju vīnu. To Viņš dod dzert, un pat visas zemes bezdievjiem jāsūc un jāizdzer tā mieles.
10 Bet es gavilēšu mūžīgi, slavēšu Jēkaba Dievu.
11 Viņš aplauzīs bezdievjiem ragus, bet liks augstu izslieties taisno galvām.
God the Judge
1 We give thanks to you, O God, we give thanks to you!
We proclaim how great you are
and tell of the wonderful things you have done.
2 “I have set a time for judgment,” says God,
“and I will judge with fairness.
3 Though every living creature tremble
and the earth itself be shaken,
I will keep its foundations firm.
4 I tell the wicked not to be arrogant;
5 I tell them to stop their boasting.”
6 Judgment does not come from the east or from the west,
from the north or from the south;
7 it is God who is the judge,
condemning some and acquitting others.
8 The Lord holds a cup in his hand,
filled with the strong wine of his anger.
He pours it out, and all the wicked drink it;
they drink it down to the last drop.
9 But I will never stop speaking of the God of Jacob
or singing praises to him.
10 He will break the power of the wicked,
but the power of the righteous will be increased.
