Psalms 75

1 To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' A Psalm of Asaph: a Song. Unto thee we give thanks, O God, we give thanks; and thy name is near: thy marvellous works declare it.

We give thanks to thee, O God. We give thanks, for thy name is near. Men tell of thy wondrous works.

2 When I shall receive the assembly, I will judge with equity.

When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly;

3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have established its pillars. (Selah)

when the earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved. I have set up the pillars of it. (Selah)

4 I said unto the boastful, Boast not; and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

I said to the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly, and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn.

5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not arrogantly with a [stiff] neck.

Lift not up your horn on high. Speak not with a stiff neck.

6 For not from the east nor from the west, nor yet from the south doth exaltation [come]:

For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes lifting up.

7 For God is the judge; he putteth down one and exalteth another.

But God is the judge. He put one down, and lifts another up.

8 For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and it foameth with wine, it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same; yea, the dregs thereof shall all the wicked of the earth drain off, [and] drink.

For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and the wine foams. It is full of mixture, and he pours out of the same, surely to the dregs of it. All the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.

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

But I will declare forever. I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 And all the horns of the wicked will I cut off; [but] the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

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