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 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.

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

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

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 set up the pillars of it. (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 arrogant, Deal not arrogantly: 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 with a stiff neck.

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

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

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

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

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

But I will declare 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.

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