Psalms 75

1 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:

For the choirmaster: To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm of Asaph. A song. We give thanks to You, O God; we give thanks, for Your Name is near. The people declare Your wondrous works.

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

“When I choose a time, I will judge fairly.

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

When the earth and all its dwellers quake, it is I who bear up its pillars.

4 I said to the wicked: Do not act wickedly: and to the sinners: Lift not up the horn.

I say to the proud, ‘Do not boast,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn.

5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not iniquity against God.

Do not lift up your horn against heaven or speak with an outstretched neck.’”

6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert hills:

For exaltation comes neither from east nor west, nor out of the desert,

7 For God is the judge. One he putteth down, and another he lifteth up:

but it is God who judges; He brings down one and exalts another.

8 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.

For a cup is in the hand of the LORD, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours from His cup, and all the wicked of the earth drink it down to the dregs.

9 But I will declare for ever: I will sing to the God of Jacob.

But I will proclaim Him forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.

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

“All the horns of the wicked I will cut off, but the horns of the righteous will be exalted.”
