Psalms 75

1 Unto the end. May you not be corrupted. A Canticle Psalm of Asaph. We will confess to you, O God. We will confess, and we will call upon your name. We will describe your wonders.

For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. We give thanks unto Thee, O God, we give thanks, and Thy name is near; men tell of Thy wondrous works.

2 While I have time, I will judge justices.

'When I take the appointed time, I Myself will judge with equity.

3 The earth has been dissolved, with all who dwell in it. I have confirmed its pillars.

When the earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved, I Myself establish the pillars of it.' (Selah)

4 I said to the iniquitous: “Do not act unjustly,” and to the offenders: “Do not exalt the horn.”

I say unto the arrogant: 'Deal not arrogantly'; and to the wicked: 'Lift not up the horn.'

5 Do not exalt your horn on high. Do not speak iniquity against God.

Lift not up your horn on high; speak not insolence with a haughty neck.

6 For it is neither from the east, nor from the west, nor before the desert mountains.

For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the wilderness, cometh lifting up.

7 For God is judge. This one he humbles and that one he exalts.

For God is judge; He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.

8 For, in the hand of the Lord, there is a cup of undiluted wine, full of consternation. And he has tipped it from here to there. So, truly, its dregs have not been emptied. All the sinners of the earth will drink.

For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, with foaming wine, 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 announce it in every age. I will sing to the God of Jacob.

But as for me, I will declare for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 And I will break all the horns of sinners. And the horns of the just will be exalted.

All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
