Psalms 75

1 We give thanks to thee, O God. We give thanks, for thy name is near. Men tell of thy wondrous works.

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.

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

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

3 when the earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved. I have set up the pillars of it. (Selah)

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

4 I said to the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly, and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn.

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

5 Lift not up your horn on high. Speak not with a stiff neck.

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

6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes lifting up.

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

7 But God is the judge. He put one down, and lifts another up.

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

8 For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and the wine foams. It is full of mixture, and he pours out of the same, surely to the dregs of it. All the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.

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.

9 But I will declare forever. I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

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

10 All the horns of the wicked I will also cut off, but the horns of a righteous man shall be lifted up.

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