Psalms 75

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

To the Chief Musician. "Do not Destroy." A Melody of Asaph, a Song. We have given thanks unto thee, O God, we have given thanks, And, in calling upon thy Name, men have recounted thy wonders.

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

Surely I will take a set time, —I, with equity, will judge:

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

Earth was melting away with all its inhabitants, I, have fixed the pillars thereof. (Selah)

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

I have said to the boasters, Do not boast, And to the lawless, Do not lift up a horn;

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

Do not lift up on high your horn, Nor speak of the Rock, with arrogance;

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

For neither from east nor west, Nor from the wilderness of the mountains [cometh exaltation];

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

For, God himself, is about to judge, One, he will cast down, Another, he will lift up;

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, a cup, is in the hand of Yahweh, Whose wine is foaming, It is full of spiced wine, Which he hath caused to flow from one to another, —Surely, the dregs thereof, they shall drain out—they shall drink, Even all the lawless ones of the earth.

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

But, I, will exult unto times age-abiding, I will sing praises unto 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.

But, all the horns of the lawless, will I hew off, —Exalted shall be the horns of the Righteous One.
