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.

[For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A Psalm by Asaph. A song.] We give thanks to you, God. We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works.

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

When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly.

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

The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold 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 to the arrogant, "Do not boast." I said to the wicked, "Do not lift up the horn.

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

Do not lift up your horn on high. Do not speak 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 exaltation.

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

But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts 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 in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours it out. Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.

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

But I will declare this 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.

I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
