Psalms 75

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

Unto the end, corrupt not, a psalm of a canticle for Asaph. We will praise thee, O God: we will praise, and we will call upon thy name. We will relate thy wondrous works:

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

When I shall take a time, I will judge justices.

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

The earth is melted, and all that dwell therein: I have established the pillars thereof.

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

I said to the wicked: Do not act wickedly: and to the sinners: Lift not up the horn.

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

Lift not up your horn on high: speak not iniquity against God.

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

For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert hills:

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

For God is the judge. One he putteth down, and another he lifteth up:

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 in the hand of the Lord there is a cup of strong wine full of mixture. And he hath poured it out from this to that: but the dregs thereof are not emptied: all the sinners of the earth shall drink.

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

But I will declare for ever: I will sing 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.

And I will break all the horns of sinners: but the horns of the just shall be exalted.
