Psalms 75

1 For the choirmaster: To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm of Asaph. A song. We give thanks to You, O God; we give thanks, for Your Name is near. The people declare Your wondrous works.

To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' A Psalm of Asaph: a Song. Unto thee we give thanks, O God, we give thanks; and thy name is near: thy marvellous works declare it.

2 “When I choose a time, I will judge fairly.

When I shall receive the assembly, I will judge with equity.

3 When the earth and all its dwellers quake, it is I who bear up its pillars.

The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have established its pillars. (Selah)

4 I say to the proud, ‘Do not boast,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn.

I said unto the boastful, Boast not; and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

5 Do not lift up your horn against heaven or speak with an outstretched neck.’”

Lift not up your horn on high; speak not arrogantly with a [stiff] neck.

6 For exaltation comes neither from east nor west, nor out of the desert,

For not from the east nor from the west, nor yet from the south doth exaltation [come]:

7 but it is God who judges; He brings down one and exalts another.

For God is the judge; he putteth down one and exalteth another.

8 For a cup is in the hand of the LORD, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours from His cup, and all the wicked of the earth drink it down to the dregs.

For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and it foameth with wine, it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same; yea, the dregs thereof shall all the wicked of the earth drain off, [and] drink.

9 But I will proclaim Him forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.

But as for me, I will declare for ever; I will sing psalms to the God of Jacob.

10 “All the horns of the wicked I will cut off, but the horns of the righteous will be exalted.”

And all the horns of the wicked will I cut off; [but] the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
