Psalms 75

1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm by Asaph. A song. We give thanks to you, God. We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works.

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

2 When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly.

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

3 The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. (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 arrogant, “Don’t boast!” I said to the wicked, “Don’t lift up the horn.

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

5 Don’t lift up your horn on high. Don’t speak with a stiff neck.”

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

6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.

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

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

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

8 For in the LORD’s hand there is a cup, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours it out. Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.

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 this forever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

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

10 I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

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