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 you, O God, do we give thanks, unto you do we give thanks: for that your name is near your wondrous works declare.

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

When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

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 bear up the pillars of it. (Selah)

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

I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: 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 with a stiff neck.

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

For promotion comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

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

But God is the judge: he puts down one, and sets 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 there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he pours out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

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 praises 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 also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
