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 Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A Psalm by Asaph. A song.] We give thanks to you, God. We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works.

2 While I have time, I will judge justices.

When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly.

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

The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. (Selah)

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

I said to the arrogant, "Do not boast." I said to the wicked, "Do not lift up the horn.

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

Do not lift up your horn on high. Do not speak with a stiff 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 south, comes exaltation.

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

But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts 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, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours it out. Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.

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

But I will declare this forever: 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.

I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
