Psalms 75

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

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.

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

At the appointed time I will judge fairly.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It is not from the east or from the west, and it is not from the wilderness that lifting up comes.

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

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

8 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.

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.

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

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

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

He says, “I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous will be raised up.”
