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.

For the leader; al tashheth. A psalm of Asaph, a song. We praise you, God, we praise you: we would call on your name and declare your wonders.

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

‘At the time I choose, I will judge fairly.

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

Though earth melt and all her inhabitants, it is I who keep steady her pillars.’ (Selah)

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

I say to the boasters, ‘Boast not’; to the wicked, ‘Lift not up your horn:

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

lift not your horn on high, speak not boldly against the Rock.’

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

For not from east nor west, not from desert nor mountains;

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

but God himself is the judge, humbling one and exalting 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.

In the hand of the Lord is a cup foaming wine, richly spiced. Out of this he pours a draught, and all the wicked of earth must drain it down to the dregs.

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

But I will rejoice forever, singing 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.

I will hew all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the just shall be lifted.
