Psalms 75

1 For the chief musician; set to Al Tashheth. A psalm of Asaph, a song. We give thanks to you, God; we give thanks, for you reveal your presence; people tell of your wondrous works.

To the chief music-maker; put to Al-tashheth. A Psalm. Of Asaph. A Song. To you, O God, we give praise, to you we give praise: and those who give honour to your name make clear your works of power.

2 At the appointed time I will judge fairly.

When the right time has come, I will be the judge in righteousness.

3 Though the earth and all the inhabitants shake in fear, I make steady the earth's pillars. (Selah)

When the earth and all its people become feeble, I am the support of its pillars. (Selah)

4 I said to the arrogant, “Do not be arrogant,” and to the wicked, “Do not lift up the horn.

I say to the men of pride, Let your pride be gone: and to the sinners, Let not your horn be lifted up.

5 Do not lift up your horn to the heights; do not speak with an insolent neck.”

Let not your horn be lifted up: let no more words of pride come from your outstretched necks.

6 It is not from the east or from the west, and it is not from the wilderness that lifting up comes.

For honour does not come from the east, or from the west, or uplifting from the south;

7 But God is the judge; he brings down and he lifts up.

But God is the judge, putting down one, and lifting up another.

8 For Yahweh holds in his hand a cup of foaming wine, which is mixed with spices, and pours it out. Surely all the wicked of the earth will drink it to the last drop.

For in the hand of the Lord is a cup, and the wine is red; it is well mixed, overflowing from his hand: he will make all the sinners of the earth take of it, even to the last drop.

9 But I will continually tell what you have done; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

But I will ever be full of joy, making songs of praise to the God of Jacob.

10 He says, “I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous will be raised up.”

By him will all the horns of the sinners be cut off; but the horns of the upright will be lifted up.
