Psalms 75
1 For the end, Destroy not, a Psalm of a Song for Asaph. We will give thanks to thee, O God, we will give thanks, and call upon thy name: I will declare all thy wonderful 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 take a set time, I will judge righteously.
At the appointed time I will judge fairly.
3 The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it: I have strengthened its pillars. (Pause)
Though the earth and all the inhabitants shake in fear, I make steady the earth's pillars. (Selah)
4 I said unto the transgressors, Do not transgress; and to the sinners, 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 unrighteousness against God.
Do not lift up your horn to the heights; do not speak with an insolent neck.”
6 For [good comes] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert mountains.
It is not from the east or from the west, and it is not from the wilderness that lifting up comes.
7 For God is the judge; he puts down one, and raises up another.
But God is the judge; he brings down and he lifts up.
8 For [there is] a cup in the hand of the Lord, full of unmingled wine; and he has turned [it] from side to side, but its dregs have not been wholly poured out; all the sinners of the earth shall 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 exult for ever: 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 And I will break all the horns of sinners; but the horns of the righteous one shall be exalted.
He says, “I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous will be raised up.”
