Psalms 75

1 “For the leader of the music. To the tune of “Do not destroy.” A psalm of Asaph.” We give thanks to thee, O God! we give thanks to thee, and near is thy name; Men shall declare thy wondrous deeds!

For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. We give thanks unto Thee, O God, we give thanks, and Thy name is near; men tell of Thy wondrous works.

2 “When I see my time, Then will I judge with equity.

'When I take the appointed time, I Myself will judge with equity.

3 The earth trembleth, and all her inhabitants; But I uphold her pillars.”

When the earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved, I Myself establish the pillars of it.' (Selah)

4 I say to the proud, Behave not proudly! To the wicked, Lift not up your horn!

I say unto the arrogant: 'Deal not arrogantly'; and to the wicked: 'Lift not up the horn.'

5 Lift not up your horn on high, And speak not with a stiff neck!

Lift not up your horn on high; speak not insolence with a haughty neck.

6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south;

For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the wilderness, cometh lifting up.

7 But it is God that judgeth; He putteth down one, and setteth up another.

For God is judge; He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.

8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup; The wine is foaming and full of spices, And of it he poureth out; Even to the dregs shall all the wicked of the earth drink it.

For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, with foaming wine, full of mixture, and He poureth out of the same; surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.

9 Therefore I will extol him for ever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.

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

10 “I will bring down all the power of the wicked; But the righteous shall lift up their heads.”

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