Psalms 75

1 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.

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

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

3 When the earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved, I Myself establish the pillars of it.' (Selah)

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

4 I say unto the arrogant: 'Deal not arrogantly'; and to the wicked: '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 insolence with a haughty neck.

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 yet from the wilderness, cometh lifting up.

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

7 For God is judge; He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.

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, 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.

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 as for me, I will declare for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

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

10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

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