< Psalms 75 >
1 To the chief music-maker; put to Al-tashheth. A Psalm. Of Asaph. A Song. To you, O God, we give praise, to you we give praise: and those who give honour to your name make clear your works of power.
We give thanks to thee, O God. We give thanks, for thy name is near. Men tell of thy wondrous works.
2 When the right time has come, I will be the judge in righteousness.
When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly;
3 When the earth and all its people become feeble, I am the support of its pillars. (Selah)
when the earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved. I have set up the pillars of it. (Selah)
4 I say to the men of pride, Let your pride be gone: and to the sinners, Let not your horn be lifted up.
I said to the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly, and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn.
5 Let not your horn be lifted up: let no more words of pride come from your outstretched necks.
Lift not up your horn on high. Speak not with a stiff neck.
6 For honour does not come from the east, or from the west, or uplifting from the south;
For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes lifting up.
7 But God is the judge, putting down one, and lifting up another.
But God is the judge. He put one down, and lifts another up.
8 For in the hand of the Lord is a cup, and the wine is red; it is well mixed, overflowing from his hand: he will make all the sinners of the earth take of it, even to the last drop.
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.
9 But I will ever be full of joy, making songs of praise to the God of Jacob.
But I will declare forever. I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 By him will all the horns of the sinners be cut off; but the horns of the upright will be lifted up.
All the horns of the wicked I will also cut off, but the horns of a righteous man shall be lifted up.
