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 thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.

2 At the appointed time I will judge fairly.

When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

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 bear up 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 said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: 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 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 promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

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

But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth 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, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

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 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 exalted.
