Psalms 75

1 Unto thee, O Elohim, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

I say 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 with a stiff neck.

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

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

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

7 But Elohim is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

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

8 For in the hand of YHWH there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth 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 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.

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

But as for me, 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 exalted.

All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
