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.

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 the right time has come, I will be the judge in righteousness.

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

3 When the earth and all its people become feeble, I am the support of its pillars. (Selah)

The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have established its pillars. (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 unto the boastful, Boast not; 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 arrogantly with a [stiff] neck.

6 For honour does not come from the east, or from the west, or uplifting from the south;

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

7 But God is the judge, putting down one, and lifting up another.

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

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 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 ever be full of joy, making songs of 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 By him will all the horns of the sinners be cut off; but the horns of the upright will be lifted up.

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