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.
Unto the end, corrupt not, a psalm of a canticle for Asaph. We will praise thee, O God: we will praise, and we will call upon thy name. We will relate thy wondrous works:
2 When the right time has come, I will be the judge in righteousness.
When I shall take a time, I will judge justices.
3 When the earth and all its people become feeble, I am the support of its pillars. (Selah)
The earth is melted, and all that dwell therein: I have established the pillars thereof.
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 wicked: Do not act wickedly: and to the sinners: 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 iniquity against God.
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 from the desert hills:
7 But God is the judge, putting down one, and lifting up another.
For God is the judge. One he putteth down, and another he lifteth 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 the Lord there is a cup of strong wine full of mixture. And he hath poured it out from this to that: but the dregs thereof are not emptied: all the sinners of the earth shall drink.
9 But I will ever be full of joy, making songs of praise to the God of Jacob.
But I will declare for ever: I will sing 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 I will break all the horns of sinners: but the horns of the just shall be exalted.
