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 chief musician; set to Al Tashheth. A psalm of Asaph, a song. We give thanks to you, God; we give thanks, for you reveal your presence; people tell of your wondrous works.

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

At the appointed time I will judge fairly.

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

Though the earth and all the inhabitants shake in fear, I make steady the earth's pillars. (Selah)

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

I said to the arrogant, “Do not be arrogant,” and to the wicked, “Do not lift up the horn.

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

Do not lift up your horn to the heights; do not speak with an insolent neck.”

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

It is not from the east or from the west, and it is not from the wilderness that lifting up comes.

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

But God is the judge; he brings down and he lifts 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 Yahweh holds in his hand a cup of foaming wine, which is mixed with spices, and pours it out. Surely all the wicked of the earth will drink it to the last drop.

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

But I will continually tell what you have done; 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.

He says, “I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous will be raised up.”
