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, ne no vakariem un ne no tuksneša kalniem nāk palīdzība, 8 bet Dievs ir visu lietu izspriedējs: vienu Viņš pazemo, otru Viņš paaugstina. 9 Jo Tam Kungam ir rokā kauss ar stipru putojošu un reibinošu 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.
(A psalm and a song by Asaph for the music leader. To the tune “Don't Destroy.” )
Praise God for All He Has Done
1 Our God, we thank you
for being so near to us!
Everyone celebrates
your wonderful deeds.
2 You have set a time
to judge with fairness.
3 The earth trembles,
and its people shake;
you alone keep
its foundations firm.
4 You tell every bragger,
“Stop bragging!”
And to the wicked you say,
“Don't boast of your power!
5 Stop bragging! Quit telling me
how great you are.”
6 Our Lord and our God,
victory doesn't come
from the east or the west
or from the desert.
7 You are the one who judges.
You can take away power
and give it to others.
8 You hold in your hand
a cup filled with wine,
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.
9 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.
