Psalms 75

1 To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, A Psalm [or] Song of Asaph. To thee, O God, do we give thanks, [to thee] do we give thanks: for [that] thy name is near, thy wondrous works declare.

We give thanks to thee, O God. We give thanks, for thy name is near. Men tell of thy wondrous works.

2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly;

3 The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. (Selah)

when the earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved. I have set up the pillars of it. (Selah)

4 I said to the fools, Deal not foolishly; and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

I said to the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly, and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn.

5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak [not with] a stiff neck.

Lift not up your horn on high. Speak not with a stiff neck.

6 For promotion [cometh] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes lifting up.

7 But God [is] the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

But God is the judge. He put one down, and lifts another up.

8 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 of it all the wicked of the earth shall wring [them] out, [and] drink [them].

For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and the wine foams. It is full of mixture, and he pours out of the same, surely to the dregs of it. All the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.

9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

But I will declare forever. I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; [but] the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

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