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:

To him that excelleth. Destroy not. A Psalme or song committed toAsaph. We will prayse thee, O God, we will prayse thee, for thy Name is neere: therefore they will declare thy wonderous workes.

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

When I shall take a conuenient time, I will iudge righteously.

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

The earth and all the inhabitantes thereof are dissolued: but I will establish the pillars of it. (Selah)

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

I saide vnto the foolish, Be not so foolish, and to the wicked, Lift not vp the horne.

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

Lift not vp your horne on high, neither speake with a stiffe necke.

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

For to come to preferment is neither from the East, nor from the West, nor from the South,

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

But God is the iudge: he maketh lowe and he maketh hie.

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 in the hand of the Lord is a cup, and the wine is red: it is full mixt, and he powreth out of the same: surely all the wicked of the earth shall wring out and drinke the dregges thereof.

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

But I will declare for euer, and sing prayses vnto the God of Iaakob.

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

All the hornes of the wicked also will I breake: but the hornes of the righteous shalbe exalted.
