Deus é juiz
Ao mestre de canto, segundo a melodia "Não destruas". Salmo de Asafe. Cântico

1 Graças te rendemos, ó Deus; graças te rendemos,

e invocamos o teu nome, e declaramos as tuas maravilhas.

2 Pois disseste: Hei de aproveitar o tempo determinado;

hei de julgar retamente.

3 Vacilem a terra e todos os seus moradores,

ainda assim eu firmarei as suas colunas.

4 Digo aos soberbos: não sejais arrogantes;

e aos ímpios: não levanteis a vossa força.

5 Não levanteis altivamente a vossa força,

nem faleis com insolência contra a Rocha.

6 Porque não é do Oriente, não é do Ocidente,

nem do deserto que vem o auxílio.

7 Deus é o juiz;

a um abate, a outro exalta.

8 Porque na mão do Senhor há um cálice

cujo vinho espuma, cheio de mistura;

dele dá a beber;

sorvem-no, até às escórias,

todos os ímpios da terra.

9 Quanto a mim, exultarei para sempre;

salmodiarei louvores ao Deus de Jacó.

10 Abaterei as forças dos ímpios;

mas a força dos justos será exaltada.

For the Chief Musician; set to Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a song.

1 We give thanks unto thee, O God;

We give thanks, for thy name is near:

Men tell of thy wondrous works.

2 When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly.

3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved:

I have set up the pillars of it. [Selah

4 I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly;

And to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

5 Lift not up your horn on high;

Speak not with a stiff neck.

6 For neither from the east, nor from the west,

Nor yet from the south, cometh lifting up.

7 But God is the judge:

He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.

8 For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and the wine foameth;

It is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same:

Surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.

9 But I will declare for ever,

I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off;

But the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

1 We praise you, God, we praise you, for your Name is near; people tell of your wonderful deeds.

2 You say, "I choose the appointed time; it is I who judge with equity.

3 When the earth and all its people quake, it is I who hold its pillars firm. [^1]

4 To the arrogant I say, 'Boast no more,' and to the wicked, 'Do not lift up your horns. [^2]

5 Do not lift your horns against heaven; do not speak so defiantly.'"

6 No one from the east or the west or from the desert can exalt themselves.

7 It is God who judges: He brings one down, he exalts another.

8 In 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.

9 As for me, I will declare this forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob,

10 who says, "I will cut off the horns of all the wicked, but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up."
