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.

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:

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

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

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

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

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

I said to the wicked: Do not act wickedly: and to the sinners: 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 iniquity against God.

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

For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert hills:

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

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

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 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.

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

But I will declare for ever: I will sing 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 I will break all the horns of sinners: but the horns of the just shall be exalted.
