Psalms 75

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

To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' A Psalm of Asaph: a Song. Unto thee we give thanks, O God, we give thanks; and thy name is near: thy marvellous works declare it.

2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

When I shall receive the assembly, I will judge with equity.

3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. (Selah)

The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have established its pillars. (Selah)

4 I said to the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

I said unto the boastful, Boast not; and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

Lift not up your horn on high; speak not arrogantly with a [stiff] neck.

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

For not from the east nor from the west, nor yet from the south doth exaltation [come]:

7 But God is the judge: he puts down one, and sets up another.

For God is the judge; he putteth down one and exalteth another.

8 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.

For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and it foameth with wine, it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same; yea, the dregs thereof shall all the wicked of the earth drain off, [and] drink.

9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

But as for me, I will declare for ever; I will sing psalms 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 exalted.

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