Psalms 75

1 [For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A Psalm by Asaph. A song.] We give thanks to you, God. We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works.

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 When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly.

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

3 The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. (Selah)

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

4 I said to the arrogant, "Do not boast." I said to the wicked, "Do not lift up the horn.

I have said to the boasters, Do not boast, And to the lawless, Do not lift up a horn;

5 Do not lift up your horn on high. Do not speak with a stiff neck."

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

6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.

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

7 But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts up another.

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

8 For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours it out. Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.

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 this forever: 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 I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

But, all the horns of the lawless, will I hew off, —Exalted shall be the horns of the Righteous One.
