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 OVERSEER. “DO NOT DESTROY.” A PSALM OF ASAPH. A SONG. We have given thanks to You, O God, We have given thanks, and Your Name [is] near, They have recounted Your wonders.

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

When I receive an appointment, I judge uprightly.

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

The earth and all its inhabitants are melted, I have pondered 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 have said to the boastful, “Do not be boastful,” And to the wicked, “Do not raise up a horn.”

5 Let not your horn be lifted up: let no more words of pride come from your outstretched necks.

Do not raise up your horn on high (You speak 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, or from the west, Nor from the wilderness—[is] elevation.

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

But God [is] judging, This He makes low—and this He lifts 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 a cup [is] in the hand of YHWH, And the wine has foamed, It is full of mixture, and He pours out of it, Surely wring out its dregs, And all the wicked of the earth drink,

9 But I will ever be full of joy, making songs of praise to the God of Jacob.

And I declare [it] for all time, I sing praise 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 cut off all horns of the wicked, The horns of the righteous are exalted!
