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.

To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' A Psalm of Asaph: a Song. Unto thee we give thanks, O God, we give thanks; and thy name is near: thy marvellous works declare it.

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

When I shall receive the assembly, I will judge with equity.

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

The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have established its pillars. (Selah)

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

I said unto the boastful, Boast not; and to the wicked, 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 arrogantly with a [stiff] neck.

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

For not from the east nor from the west, nor yet from the south doth exaltation [come]:

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

For God is the judge; he putteth down one and exalteth 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 in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and it foameth with wine, it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same; yea, the dregs thereof shall all the wicked of the earth drain off, [and] drink.

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

But as for me, I will declare for ever; I will sing psalms 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 all the horns of the wicked will I cut off; [but] the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
