Psalms 75

1 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.

To the choirmaster al-tashcheth a psalm of Asaph a song. We give thanks to you - O God we give thanks and [is] near name your people recount wonders your.

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

If I will take an appointed time I uprightness I will judge.

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

[are] melting away [the] earth And all inhabitants its I I put in order pillars its (Selah)

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

I say to the boasters may not you boast and to the wicked [people] may not you lift up a horn.

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

May not you lift up to the height horn your may you speak with a neck arrogance.

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

For not [is] from [the] going out and from [the] setting place and not from [the] wilderness exaltation.

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

For God [is the] judge this one he brings low and this one he lifts up.

8 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.

For a cup [is] in [the] hand of Yahweh and wine it is foaming - full spiced drink and he has poured out some of this surely dregs its they will drain they will drink all [the] wicked [people] of [the] earth.

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

And I I will declare for ever I will sing praises to [the] God of Jacob.

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

And all [the] horns of wicked [people] I will cut off they will be lifted up [the] horns of [the] righteous.
