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.

For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. We give thanks unto thee, O God; we give thanks, for thy name is near: men tell of thy wondrous works.

2 When I receive an appointment, I judge uprightly.

When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly.

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

The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have set up the pillars of it. (Selah)

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

I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly: and to the wicked, 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 with a stiff neck.

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 yet from the south, [cometh] lifting up.

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

But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and lifteth up another.

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, and the wine foameth; it is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same: surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

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 praises to the God of Jacob.

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

All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
