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 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.

2 While I have time, I will judge justices.

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

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

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

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

I said to the transgressors, Do not transgress; and to the sinners, 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 unrighteousness against God.

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

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

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

For God is the judge; he puts down one, and raises 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 [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].

9 But I will announce it in every age. I will sing to the God of Jacob.

But I will exult 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.

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