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.

Unto the end, corrupt not, a psalm of a canticle for Asaph. We will praise thee, O God: we will praise, and we will call upon thy name. We will relate thy wondrous works:

2 At the appointed time I will judge fairly.

When I shall take a time, I will judge justices.

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

The earth is melted, and all that dwell therein: I have established the pillars thereof.

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

I said to the wicked: Do not act wickedly: and to the sinners: 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 iniquity against God.

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

For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert hills:

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

For God is the judge. One he putteth down, and another he lifteth up:

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 there is a cup of strong wine full of mixture. And he hath poured it out from this to that: but the dregs thereof are not emptied: all the sinners of the earth shall drink.

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

But I will declare for ever: I will sing 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 I will break all the horns of sinners: but the horns of the just shall be exalted.
