Salm 75
Dhut bheir sinn buidheachas, a Dhè, dhut buidheachas a-ghnàth; Oir foillsichidh do mhìorbhailean, gur fagas d'ainm gach là. Tràth gheibh mi is a ghlacar leam coitheanal mòr na tìr', Do nì mi dhaibh deagh bhreitheanas, gu cothromach 's gu fìor. Sgaoileadh an dùthaich, is an sluagh ga h-àiteachadh a tha; Ach mise cumaidh suas gu treun postan na tìr a-ghnàth. Thubhairt mi ris gach amadan, Na gluais gu h-amaideach; 'S ri luchd an uilc, Na togaibh suas ur n-adharc àrdanach. Ur n-adharc fòs na togaibh suas, ri cainnt le muineal cruaidh. Chan ann on ear, no 'n iar, no deas, thig urram mòr no buaidh. Ach 's britheamh Dia, a leagas aon, 's a thogas aon fa seach. Oir cup an làimh an Tighearn tha den fhìon as deirge dreach; Làn coimeisg tha e, dòirtidh Dia cuid as a-mach gu grad; A dheasgainn fàisgidh daoine daoi, is òlaidh iad air fad. Ach cuiridh mise fòs an cèill gu suthainn is gu sìor, Do Dhia ud Iàcoib canar leam àrd-mholadh binn gu fìor. Uil' adhaircean nan daoine daoi, sgathaidh mi sìos 's gach àit; Ach adhaircean nan saoi air fad togar gu grad an àird.

Psalm 75
For the choirmaster. Tune: ‘Do not destroy’. Psalm. Of Asaph. Song.
We thank you, O God, we give you thanks;
we call on your name
and recall your wonderful deeds.
You say, "I choose the proper time,
I am the one who judges justly.
When the earth quakes and all its people,
I am holding the pillars in place.
I tell the proud to stop their boasting,
and the wicked to distrust their strength.
Do not test your strength with the heavens;
do not talk with arrogant looks!'
None from the east nor from the west;
none from the desert decides who has power.
It is God who judges,
he brings one down
and exalts another.
The hand of Yahweh bears a cup
filled with wine and spices;
he pours the wine, the wicked drink
and drain it to the dregs.
But I will proclaim him forever;
I will sing in praise
to the God of Jacob.
I will smash the power of the wicked,
but the power of the just
will be lifted high.
(From The Psalms, Slough (1994))
