Psalms 75
1 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.
Unto the end. May you not be corrupted. A Canticle Psalm of Asaph. We will confess to you, O God. We will confess, and we will call upon your name. We will describe your wonders.
2 When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly.
While I have time, I will judge justices.
3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have set up the pillars of it. (Selah)
The earth has been dissolved, with all who dwell in it. I have confirmed its pillars.
4 I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
I said to the iniquitous: “Do not act unjustly,” and to the offenders: “Do not exalt the horn.”
5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not with a stiff neck.
Do not exalt your horn on high. Do not speak iniquity against God.
6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, [cometh] lifting up.
For it is neither from the east, nor from the west, nor before the desert mountains.
7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and lifteth up another.
For God is judge. This one he humbles and that one he exalts.
8 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.
For, in the hand of the Lord, there is a cup of undiluted wine, full of consternation. And he has tipped it from here to there. So, truly, its dregs have not been emptied. All the sinners of the earth will drink.
9 But I will declare for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
But I will announce it in every age. I will sing to the God of Jacob.
10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
And I will break all the horns of sinners. And the horns of the just will be exalted.
