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.

For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. We give thanks unto Thee, O God, we give thanks, and Thy name is near; men tell of Thy wondrous works.

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

'When I take the appointed time, I Myself will judge with equity.

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

When the earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved, I Myself establish the pillars of it.' (Selah)

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

I say unto the arrogant: 'Deal not arrogantly'; 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 insolence with a haughty neck.

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

For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the wilderness, cometh lifting up.

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

For God is judge; He putteth down one, and lifteth up 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 the LORD there is a cup, with foaming wine, full of mixture, and He poureth out of the same; surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.

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 praises 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.”

All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
