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 Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A Psalm by Asaph. A song.] We give thanks to you, God. We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works.

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

When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly.

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

The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. (Selah)

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

I said to the arrogant, "Do not boast." I said to the wicked, "Do not lift up the horn.

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

Do not lift up your horn on high. Do not speak with a stiff 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 south, comes exaltation.

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

But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts 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, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours it out. Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.

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

But I will declare this forever: 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.

I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
