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 praise you, God, we praise you: we would call on your name and declare your wonders.

2 At the appointed time I will judge fairly.

“At the time I choose, I will judge fairly.

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

Though earth melt and all her inhabitants, it is I who keep steady her pillars.” (Selah)

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

I say to the boasters, “Boast not”; to the wicked, “Lift not up your horn:

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

lift not your horn on high, speak not boldly against the Rock.”

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 east nor west, not from desert nor mountains;

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

but God himself is the judge, humbling one and exalting 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.

In the hand of the Lord is a cup foaming wine, richly spiced. Out of this he pours a draught, and all the wicked of earth must drain it down to the dregs.

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

But I will rejoice forever, singing 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.”

I will hew all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the just shall be lifted.
