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.

To you, O God, do we give thanks, to you do we give thanks: for that your name is near your wondrous works declare.

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

When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

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

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

4 I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

I said to the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not with a stiff neck.

Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, [cometh] lifting up.

For promotion comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

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

But God is the judge: he puts down one, and sets up another.

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

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

But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises 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.

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