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.

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

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

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

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

4 I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly: 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 on high your horn, speak not with a stiffly erect neck.

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

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

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

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

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

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, 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 And all the horns of the wicked will I hew 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.
