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 Overseer. — 'Destroy not.' — A Psalm of Asaph. — A Song. We have given thanks to Thee, O God, We have given thanks, and near [is] Thy name, They have recounted Thy wonders.

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

When I receive an appointment, I — I do judge uprightly.

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

Melted is the earth and all its inhabitants, I — I have pondered its pillars. (Selah)

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

I have said to the boastful, 'Be not boastful,' And to the wicked, 'Raise not up a horn.'

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

Raise not up on high your horn, (Ye speak with a stiff neck.)

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

For not from the east, or from the west, Nor from the wilderness — [is] elevation.

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

But God [is] judge, This He maketh low — and this 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 a cup [is] in the hand of Jehovah, And the wine hath foamed, It is full of mixture, and He poureth out of it, Only its dregs wring out, and drink, Do all the wicked of the earth,

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

And I — I declare [it] to the age, I 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.

And all horns of the wicked I cut off, Exalted are the horns of the righteous!
