Psalms 75

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

To him that excelleth. Destroy not. A Psalme or song committed toAsaph. We will prayse thee, O God, we will prayse thee, for thy Name is neere: therefore they will declare thy wonderous workes.

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

When I shall take a conuenient time, I will iudge righteously.

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

The earth and all the inhabitantes thereof are dissolued: but I will establish the pillars of it. (Selah)

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

I saide vnto the foolish, Be not so foolish, and to the wicked, Lift not vp the horne.

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

Lift not vp your horne on high, neither speake with a stiffe necke.

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

For to come to preferment is neither from the East, nor from the West, nor from the South,

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

But God is the iudge: he maketh lowe and he maketh hie.

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 is a cup, and the wine is red: it is full mixt, and he powreth out of the same: surely all the wicked of the earth shall wring out and drinke the dregges thereof.

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

But I will declare for euer, and sing prayses vnto the God of Iaakob.

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 hornes of the wicked also will I breake: but the hornes of the righteous shalbe exalted.
