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.

For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. We give thanks unto 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)

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 unto 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, [cometh] lifting up.

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

But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.

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 foameth; It is 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 as for me, I will declare for ever; I will sing psalms to the God of Jacob.

But I will declare for ever, 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 also will I cut off; But the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
