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.

Unto the end, corrupt not, a psalm of a canticle for Asaph. We will praise thee, O God: we will praise, and we will call upon thy name. We will relate thy wondrous works:

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

When I shall take a time, I will judge justices.

3 The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. (Selah)

The earth is melted, and all that dwell therein: I have established the pillars thereof.

4 I said to the arrogant, “Don’t boast!” I said to the wicked, “Don’t lift up the horn.

I said to the wicked: Do not act wickedly: and to the sinners: 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 iniquity against God.

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 from the desert hills:

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

For God is the judge. One he putteth down, and another he lifteth 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 the Lord there is a cup of strong wine full of mixture. And he hath poured it out from this to that: but the dregs thereof are not emptied: all the sinners of the earth shall drink.

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

But I will declare for ever: I will sing 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.

And I will break all the horns of sinners: but the horns of the just shall be exalted.
