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 thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.

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

When I shall receive the congregation 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 bear 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 fools, Deal not foolishly: 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 promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

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

But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth 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 Yhwh there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, 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 exalted.
