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 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 At the appointed time I will judge fairly.
When I shall receive the assembly, I will judge with equity.
3 Though the earth and all the inhabitants shake in fear, I make steady the earth's pillars. (Selah)
The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have established its pillars. (Selah)
4 I said to the arrogant, “Do not be arrogant,” and to the wicked, “Do not lift up the horn.
I said unto the boastful, Boast not; and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
5 Do not lift up your horn to the heights; do not speak with an insolent neck.”
Lift not up your horn on high; speak not arrogantly with a [stiff] neck.
6 It is not from the east or from the west, and it is not from the wilderness that lifting up comes.
For not from the east nor from the west, nor yet from the south doth exaltation [come]:
7 But God is the judge; he brings down and he lifts up.
For God is the judge; he putteth down one and exalteth 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 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 continually tell what you have done; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
But as for me, I will declare for ever; I will sing psalms 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.”
And all the horns of the wicked will I cut off; [but] the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
