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.

“To the chief musician, Al-tashcheth, a psalm or song of Asaph.” We give thanks unto thee, O God, we give thanks, and nigh is thy name: men relate thy wondrous deeds.

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

“For I will take up a fixed time when I will judge uprightly.

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

The earth and all her inhabitants are melting away: I myself establish firmly her pillars.” (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 on high your horn, speak not with a stiffly erect neck.

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

For neither from the rising [of the sun], nor from [his] setting, nor from the wilderness of mountains [cometh this];

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

But God is the judge: he lowereth 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 there is a cup in the hand of the Lord, and the wine foameth, it is full of mixture: and he poureth out of the same; but its lees they drain, they drink—all the wicked of the earth.

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.

And all the horns of the wicked will I hew off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
