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 Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. We give thanks unto Thee, O God, we give thanks, and Thy name is near; men tell of Thy wondrous works.

2 At the appointed time I will judge fairly.

'When I take the appointed time, I Myself will judge with equity.

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

When the earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved, I Myself establish the pillars of it.' (Selah)

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

I say unto the arrogant: 'Deal not arrogantly'; 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 insolence with a haughty neck.

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 yet from the wilderness, cometh lifting up.

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

For God is judge; He putteth down one, and lifteth 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 there is a cup, with foaming wine, full of mixture, and He poureth out of the same; surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.

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 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.”

All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
