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 the Chief Musician. "Do not Destroy." A Melody of Asaph, a Song. We have given thanks unto thee, O God, we have given thanks, And, in calling upon thy Name, men have recounted thy wonders.

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

Surely I will take a set time, —I, with equity, will judge:

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

Earth was melting away with all its inhabitants, I, have fixed the pillars thereof. (Selah)

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

I have said to the boasters, Do not boast, And to the lawless, Do not lift up a horn;

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

Do not lift up on high your horn, Nor speak of the Rock, with arrogance;

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

For neither from east nor west, Nor from the wilderness of the mountains [cometh exaltation];

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

For, God himself, is about to judge, One, he will cast down, Another, he will lift 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, a cup, is in the hand of Yahweh, Whose wine is foaming, It is full of spiced wine, Which he hath caused to flow from one to another, —Surely, the dregs thereof, they shall drain out—they shall drink, Even all the lawless ones of the earth.

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

But, I, will exult unto times age-abiding, I will sing praises unto 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.

But, all the horns of the lawless, will I hew off, —Exalted shall be the horns of the Righteous One.
