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, Al-tashcheth, a psalm or song of Asaph.” We give thanks unto thee, O God, we give thanks, and nigh is thy name: men relate thy wondrous deeds.

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

“For I will take up a fixed time when 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 her inhabitants are melting away: I myself establish firmly her pillars.” (Selah)

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

I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly: 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 on high your horn, speak not with a stiffly erect neck.

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

For neither from the rising [of the sun], nor from [his] setting, nor from the wilderness of mountains [cometh this];

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

But God is the judge: he lowereth one, and lifteth 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 there is a cup in the hand of the Lord, and the wine foameth, it is full of mixture: and he poureth out of the same; but its lees they drain, they drink—all the wicked of the earth.

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.

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