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 leader of the music. To the tune of “Do not destroy.” A psalm of Asaph.” We give thanks to thee, O God! we give thanks to thee, and near is thy name; Men shall declare thy wondrous deeds!

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

“When I see my time, Then will I judge with equity.

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

The earth trembleth, and all her inhabitants; But I uphold her pillars.”

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

I say to the proud, Behave not proudly! To the wicked, Lift not up your horn!

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

Lift not up your horn on high, And speak not with a stiff neck!

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

For promotion cometh 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 it is God that judgeth; He putteth down one, and setteth 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 the LORD there is a cup; The wine is foaming and full of spices, And of it he poureth out; Even to the dregs shall all the wicked of the earth drink it.

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

Therefore I will extol him for ever; 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.

“I will bring down all the power of the wicked; But the righteous shall lift up their heads.”
