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 Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. We give thanks unto Thee, O God, we give thanks, and Thy name is near; men tell of Thy wondrous works.

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

'When I take the appointed time, I Myself will judge with equity.

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

When the earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved, I Myself 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 say 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 iniquity against God.

Lift not up your horn on high; speak not insolence with a haughty neck.

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

For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the wilderness, cometh lifting up.

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

For God is judge; He putteth down one, and lifteth up 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 in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, with foaming wine, full of mixture, and He poureth out of the same; surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.

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

But as for me, I will declare for ever, I will sing praises 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 also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
