Psalms 75

1 “To the chief musician, Al-tashcheth, a psalm or song of Asaph.” We give thanks unto thee, O God, we give thanks, and nigh is thy name: men relate thy wondrous deeds.

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.

2 “For I will take up a fixed time when I will judge uprightly.

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

3 The earth and all her inhabitants are melting away: I myself establish firmly her pillars.” (Selah)

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

4 I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn.

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

5 Lift not up on high your horn, speak not with a stiffly erect neck.

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

6 For neither from the rising [of the sun], nor from [his] setting, nor from the wilderness of mountains [cometh this];

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

7 But God is the judge: he lowereth one, and lifteth up another,

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

8 For there is a cup in the hand of the Lord, and the wine foameth, it is full of mixture: and he poureth out of the same; but its lees they drain, they drink—all the wicked of the earth.

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].

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

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

10 And all the horns of the wicked will I hew off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

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