< 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 Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A Psalm by Asaph. A song.] We give thanks to you, God. We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works.
2 When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly;
When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly.
3 when the earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved. I have set up the pillars of it. (Selah)
The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. (Selah)
4 I said to the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly, and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn.
I said to the arrogant, "Do not boast." I said to the wicked, "Do not lift up the horn.
5 Lift not up your horn on high. Speak not with a stiff neck.
Do not lift up your horn on high. Do not speak with a stiff neck."
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 yet from the south, comes exaltation.
7 But God is the judge. He put one down, and lifts another up.
But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts up 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 in the hand of YHWH there is a cup, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours it out. Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.
9 But I will declare forever. I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
But I will declare this forever: I will sing praises 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.
I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
