Psalms 75

1 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.

For the end, Destroy not, a Psalm of a Song for Asaph. We will give thanks to you, O God, we will give thanks, and call upon your name: I will declare all your wonderful works.

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

When I shall take a set time, I will judge righteously.

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

The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it: I have strengthened its pillars. (Pause)

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

I said to the transgressors, Do not transgress; and to the sinners, Lift not up the horn.

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

Lift not up your horn on high; speak not unrighteousness against God.

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

For [good comes] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert mountains.

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

For God is the judge; he puts down one, and raises up another.

8 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.

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 exult unto times age-abiding, I will sing praises unto the God of Jacob;

But I will exult for ever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

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

And I will break all the horns of sinners; but the horns of the righteous one shall be exalted.
