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.
For the music director. A psalm of Asaph. According to “Do Not Destroy.” A song. We thank you, God, we thank you because you are close beside us. People tell about the wonderful things you have done.
2 At the appointed time I will judge fairly.
God says, “When the time I have decided comes, I will judge fairly.
3 Though the earth and all the inhabitants shake in fear, I make steady the earth's pillars. (Selah)
When the earth quakes, and all its inhabitants tremble, I am the one who holds it steady. (Selah)
4 I said to the arrogant, “Do not be arrogant,” and to the wicked, “Do not lift up the horn.
To those who boast I say, ‘Don't boast!’ I tell the wicked, ‘Don't be proud!’
5 Do not lift up your horn to the heights; do not speak with an insolent neck.”
No, don't be proud and arrogant, insulting heaven.”
6 It is not from the east or from the west, and it is not from the wilderness that lifting up comes.
For no one, from the east to the west, or from the wilderness, should think so highly of themselves.
7 But God is the judge; he brings down and he lifts up.
God is the one who decides—who he will bring down and who he will lift 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 the Lord has a cup in his hand, full of bubbling wine mixed with spices. He pours it out, and all the wicked drink it deeply, down 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 speak about you forever. I will sing praises 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.”
For God says, “I will break the power of the wicked; but I will give my support to those who do what is good.”
