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 Musician. 'Destroy not.' A Psalm of Asaph: a Song. Unto thee we give thanks, O God, we give thanks; and thy name is near: thy marvellous works declare it.

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

When I shall receive the assembly, I will judge with equity.

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

The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have established its pillars. (Selah)

4 I say unto the arrogant: 'Deal not arrogantly'; and to the wicked: 'Lift not up the horn.'

I said unto the boastful, Boast not; and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

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

Lift not up your horn on high; speak not arrogantly with a [stiff] neck.

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

For not from the east nor from the west, nor yet from the south doth exaltation [come]:

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

For God is the judge; he putteth down one and exalteth 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 Jehovah there is a cup, and it foameth with wine, it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same; yea, the dregs thereof shall all the wicked of the earth drain off, [and] drink.

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

But as for me, I will declare for ever; I will sing psalms 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.

And all the horns of the wicked will I cut off; [but] the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
