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 OVERSEER. “DO NOT DESTROY.” A PSALM OF ASAPH. A SONG. We have given thanks to You, O God, We have given thanks, and Your Name [is] near, They have recounted Your wonders.

2 At the appointed time I will judge fairly.

When I receive an appointment, I 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 its inhabitants are melted, I have pondered its pillars. (Selah)

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

I have said to the boastful, “Do not be boastful,” And to the wicked, “Do not raise up a horn.”

5 Do not lift up your horn to the heights; do not speak with an insolent neck.”

Do not raise up your horn on high (You speak 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, or from the west, Nor from the wilderness—[is] elevation.

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

But God [is] judging, This He makes low—and this He lifts 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 a cup [is] in the hand of YHWH, And the wine has foamed, It is full of mixture, and He pours out of it, Surely wring out its dregs, And all the wicked of the earth drink,

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

And I declare [it] for all time, I sing praise 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 cut off all horns of the wicked, The horns of the righteous are exalted!
