Psalms 75

1 For the end, Destroy not, a Psalm of a Song for Asaph. We will give thanks to you, O God, we will give thanks, and call upon your name: I will declare all your wonderful works.

“For the leader of the music. To the tune of “Do not destroy.” A psalm of Asaph.” We give thanks to thee, O God! we give thanks to thee, and near is thy name; Men shall declare thy wondrous deeds!

2 When I shall take a set time, I will judge righteously.

“When I see my time, Then will I judge with equity.

3 The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it: I have strengthened its pillars. (Pause)

The earth trembleth, and all her inhabitants; But I uphold her pillars.”

4 I said to the transgressors, Do not transgress; and to the sinners, Lift not up the horn.

I say to the proud, Behave not proudly! To the wicked, Lift not up your horn!

5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not unrighteousness against God.

Lift not up your horn on high, And speak not with a stiff neck!

6 For [good comes] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert mountains.

For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south;

7 For God is the judge; he puts down one, and raises up another.

But it is God that judgeth; He putteth down one, and setteth up another.

8 For [there is] a cup in the hand of the Lord, full of unmingled wine; and he has turned [it] from side to side, but its dregs have not been wholly poured out; all the sinners of the earth shall drink [them].

For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup; The wine is foaming and full of spices, And of it he poureth out; Even to the dregs shall all the wicked of the earth drink it.

9 But I will exult for ever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

Therefore I will extol him for ever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.

10 And I will break all the horns of sinners; but the horns of the righteous one shall be exalted.

“I will bring down all the power of the wicked; But the righteous shall lift up their heads.”
