< 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.
To the chief music-maker; put to Al-tashheth. A Psalm. Of Asaph. A Song. To you, O God, we give praise, to you we give praise: and those who give honour to your name make clear your works of power.
2 'When I take the appointed time, I Myself will judge with equity.
When the right time has come, I will be the judge in righteousness.
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 people become feeble, I am the support of its pillars. (Selah)
4 I say unto the arrogant: 'Deal not arrogantly'; and to the wicked: 'Lift not up the horn.'
I say to the men of pride, Let your pride be gone: and to the sinners, Let not your horn be lifted up.
5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not insolence with a haughty neck.
Let not your horn be lifted up: let no more words of pride come from your outstretched necks.
6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the wilderness, cometh lifting up.
For honour does not come from the east, or from the west, or uplifting from the south;
7 For God is judge; He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.
But God is the judge, putting down one, and lifting up 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 in the hand of the Lord is a cup, and the wine is red; it is well mixed, overflowing from his hand: he will make all the sinners of the earth take of it, even to the last drop.
9 But as for me, I will declare for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
But I will ever be full of joy, making songs of 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.
By him will all the horns of the sinners be cut off; but the horns of the upright will be lifted up.
