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 Musician. "Do not Destroy." A Melody of Asaph, a Song. We have given thanks unto thee, O God, we have given thanks, And, in calling upon thy Name, men have recounted thy wonders.

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

Surely I will take a set time, —I, with equity, will judge:

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

Earth was melting away with all its inhabitants, I, have fixed the pillars thereof. (Selah)

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

I have said to the boasters, Do not boast, And to the lawless, Do not lift up a horn;

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

Do not lift up on high your horn, Nor speak of the Rock, with arrogance;

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

For neither from east nor west, Nor from the wilderness of the mountains [cometh exaltation];

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

For, God himself, is about to judge, One, he will cast down, Another, he will lift up;

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, a cup, is in the hand of Yahweh, Whose wine is foaming, It is full of spiced wine, Which he hath caused to flow from one to another, —Surely, the dregs thereof, they shall drain out—they shall drink, Even all the lawless ones of the earth.

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

But, I, will exult unto times age-abiding, I will sing praises unto the God of Jacob;

10 And I will break all the horns of sinners; but the horns of the righteous one shall be exalted.

But, all the horns of the lawless, will I hew off, —Exalted shall be the horns of the Righteous One.
