Psalms 75

1 TO THE OVERSEER. “DO NOT DESTROY.” A PSALM OF ASAPH. A SONG. We have given thanks to You, O God, We have given thanks, and Your Name [is] near, They have recounted Your wonders.

Unto the end, corrupt not, a psalm of a canticle for Asaph. We will praise thee, O God: we will praise, and we will call upon thy name. We will relate thy wondrous works:

2 When I receive an appointment, I judge uprightly.

When I shall take a time, I will judge justices.

3 The earth and all its inhabitants are melted, I have pondered its pillars. (Selah)

The earth is melted, and all that dwell therein: I have established the pillars thereof.

4 I have said to the boastful, “Do not be boastful,” And to the wicked, “Do not raise up a horn.”

I said to the wicked: Do not act wickedly: and to the sinners: Lift not up the horn.

5 Do not raise up your horn on high (You speak with a stiff neck).

Lift not up your horn on high: speak not iniquity against God.

6 For not from the east, or from the west, Nor from the wilderness—[is] elevation.

For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert hills:

7 But God [is] judging, This He makes low—and this He lifts up.

For God is the judge. One he putteth down, and another he lifteth up:

8 For a cup [is] in the hand of YHWH, And the wine has foamed, It is full of mixture, and He pours out of it, Surely wring out its dregs, And all the wicked of the earth drink,

For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup of strong wine full of mixture. And he hath poured it out from this to that: but the dregs thereof are not emptied: all the sinners of the earth shall drink.

9 And I declare [it] for all time, I sing praise to the God of Jacob.

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

10 And I cut off all horns of the wicked, The horns of the righteous are exalted!

And I will break all the horns of sinners: but the horns of the just shall be exalted.
