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, Al-tashcheth, a psalm or song of Asaph.” We give thanks unto thee, O God, we give thanks, and nigh is thy name: men relate thy wondrous deeds.

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

“For I will take up a fixed time when I will judge uprightly.

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

The earth and all her inhabitants are melting away: I myself establish firmly her 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 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 on high your horn, speak not with a stiffly erect neck.

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

For neither from the rising [of the sun], nor from [his] setting, nor from the wilderness of mountains [cometh this];

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

But God is the judge: he lowereth one, and lifteth up 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 there is a cup in the hand of the Lord, and the wine foameth, it is full of mixture: and he poureth out of the same; but its lees they drain, they drink—all the wicked of the earth.

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 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.

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