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.

Unto the end, corrupt not, a psalm of a canticle for Asaph. We will praise thee, O God: we will praise, and we will call upon thy name. We will relate thy wondrous works:

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

When I shall take a time, I will judge justices.

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

The earth is melted, and all that dwell therein: I have established the pillars thereof.

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

I said to the wicked: Do not act wickedly: and to the sinners: 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 iniquity against God.

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 from the desert hills:

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

For God is the judge. One he putteth down, and another he lifteth 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 the Lord there is a cup of strong wine full of mixture. And he hath poured it out from this to that: but the dregs thereof are not emptied: all the sinners of the earth shall drink.

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 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.

And I will break all the horns of sinners: but the horns of the just shall be exalted.
