< Psalms 75 >

1 For the end, Destroy not, a Psalm of a Song for Asaph. We will give thanks to thee, O God, we will give thanks, and call upon thy name: I will declare all thy wonderful works.
For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. We give thanks unto thee, O God; We give thanks, for thy name is near: Men tell of thy wondrous works.
2 When I shall take a set time, I will judge righteously.
When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly.
3 The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it: I have strengthened its pillars. (Pause)
The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have set up the pillars of it. (Selah)
4 I said unto the transgressors, Do not transgress; and to the sinners, Lift not up the horn.
I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly; And to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not unrighteousness against God.
Lift not up your horn on high; Speak not with a stiff neck.
6 For [good comes] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert mountains.
For neither from the east, nor from the west, Nor yet from the south, [cometh] lifting up.
7 For God is the judge; he puts down one, and raises up another.
But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.
8 For [there is] a cup in the hand of the Lord, full of unmingled wine; and he has turned [it] from side to side, but its dregs have not been wholly poured out; all the sinners of the earth shall drink [them].
For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and the wine foameth; It is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same: Surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.
9 But I will exult for ever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
But I will declare for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 And I will break all the horns of sinners; but the horns of the righteous one shall be exalted.
All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; But the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
