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. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm by Asaph. A song. We give thanks to you, God. We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works.

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

When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly.

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

The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold 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 to the arrogant, “Don’t boast!” I said to the wicked, “Don’t lift up the horn.

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

Don’t lift up your horn on high. Don’t speak 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, comes exaltation.

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

But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts 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 Yahweh’s hand there is a cup, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours it out. Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.

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

But I will declare this forever: 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.

I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
