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 OVERSEER. “DO NOT DESTROY.” A PSALM OF ASAPH. A SONG. We have given thanks to You, O God, We have given thanks, and Your Name [is] near, They have recounted Your wonders.

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

When I receive an appointment, I judge uprightly.

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

The earth and all its inhabitants are melted, I have pondered its pillars. (Selah)

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

I have said to the boastful, “Do not be boastful,” And to the wicked, “Do not raise up a horn.”

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

Do not raise up your horn on high (You speak 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, or from the west, Nor from the wilderness—[is] elevation.

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

But God [is] judging, This He makes low—and this He lifts up.

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 a cup [is] in the hand of YHWH, And the wine has foamed, It is full of mixture, and He pours out of it, Surely wring out its dregs, And all the wicked of the earth drink,

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

And I declare [it] for all time, I sing praise 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 cut off all horns of the wicked, The horns of the righteous are exalted!
