< 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.
For the end, Destroy not, a Psalm of a Song for Asaph. We will give thanks to thee, O God, we will give thanks, and call upon thy name: I will declare all thy wonderful works.
2 When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly.
When I shall take a set time, I will judge righteously.
3 The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. (Selah)
The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it: I have strengthened its pillars. (Pause)
4 I said to the arrogant, "Do not boast." I said to the wicked, "Do not lift up the horn.
I said unto the transgressors, Do not transgress; and to the sinners, Lift not up the horn.
5 Do not lift up your horn on high. Do not speak with a stiff neck."
Lift not up your horn on high; speak not unrighteousness against God.
6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.
For [good comes] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert mountains.
7 But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts up another.
For God is the judge; he puts down one, and raises up another.
8 For in the hand of the LORD 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 [there is] a cup in the hand of the Lord, full of unmingled wine; and he has turned [it] from side to side, but its dregs have not been wholly poured out; all the sinners of the earth shall drink [them].
9 But I will declare this forever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
But I will exult for ever: I will sing praises to 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.
And I will break all the horns of sinners; but the horns of the righteous one shall be exalted.
