< 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 OVERSEER. “DO NOT DESTROY.” A PSALM OF ASAPH. A SONG. We have given thanks to You, O God, We have given thanks, and Your Name [is] near, They have recounted Your wonders.
2 “When I choose a time, I will judge fairly.
When I receive an appointment, I judge uprightly.
3 When the earth and all its dwellers quake, it is I who bear up its pillars.
The earth and all its inhabitants are melted, I have pondered its pillars. (Selah)
4 I say to the proud, ‘Do not boast,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn.
I have said to the boastful, “Do not be boastful,” And to the wicked, “Do not raise up a horn.”
5 Do not lift up your horn against heaven or speak with an outstretched neck.’”
Do not raise up your horn on high (You speak with a stiff neck).
6 For exaltation comes neither from east nor west, nor out of the desert,
For not from the east, or from the west, Nor from the wilderness—[is] elevation.
7 but it is God who judges; He brings down one and exalts another.
But God [is] judging, This He makes low—and this He lifts up.
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 a cup [is] in the hand of YHWH, And the wine has foamed, It is full of mixture, and He pours out of it, Surely wring out its dregs, And all the wicked of the earth drink,
9 But I will proclaim Him forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.
And I declare [it] for all time, I sing praise 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 I cut off all horns of the wicked, The horns of the righteous are exalted!
