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. "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 choose a time, I will judge fairly.

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

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

Earth was melting away with all its inhabitants, I, have fixed the pillars thereof. (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 boasters, Do not boast, And to the lawless, Do not lift up a horn;

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

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

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

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

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

For, God himself, is about to judge, One, he will cast down, Another, he will lift 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 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 proclaim Him forever; I will sing praise 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 cut off, but the horns of the righteous will be exalted.”

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