< 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-taschith, A Psalm [or] Song of Asaph. To thee, O God, do we give thanks, [to thee] do we give thanks: for [that] thy name is near, thy 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 its inhabitants 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 to 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 [cometh] 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 putteth down one, and setteth 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 poureth out of the same: but the dregs of it 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.
