Psalms 75

1 For the end, Destroy not, a Psalm of a Song for Asaph. We will give thanks to you, O God, we will give thanks, and call upon your name: I will declare all your wonderful works.

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.

2 When I shall take a set time, I will judge righteously.

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

3 The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it: I have strengthened its pillars. (Pause)

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

4 I said to the transgressors, Do not transgress; and to the sinners, Lift not up the horn.

I say to the men of pride, Let your pride be gone: and to the sinners, Let not your horn be lifted up.

5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not unrighteousness against God.

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

6 For [good comes] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert mountains.

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

7 For God is the judge; he puts down one, and raises up another.

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

9 But I will exult for ever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

But I will ever be full of joy, making songs of praise 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.

By him will all the horns of the sinners be cut off; but the horns of the upright will be lifted up.
