Psalms 75

1 Unto the end. May you not be corrupted. A Canticle Psalm of Asaph. We will confess to you, O God. We will confess, and we will call upon your name. We will describe your wonders.

For the leader; al tashheth. A psalm of Asaph, a song. We praise you, God, we praise you: we would call on your name and declare your wonders.

2 While I have time, I will judge justices.

“At the time I choose, I will judge fairly.

3 The earth has been dissolved, with all who dwell in it. I have confirmed its pillars.

Though earth melt and all her inhabitants, it is I who keep steady her pillars.” (Selah)

4 I said to the iniquitous: “Do not act unjustly,” and to the offenders: “Do not exalt the horn.”

I say to the boasters, “Boast not”; to the wicked, “Lift not up your horn:

5 Do not exalt your horn on high. Do not speak iniquity against God.

lift not your horn on high, speak not boldly against the Rock.”

6 For it is neither from the east, nor from the west, nor before the desert mountains.

For not from east nor west, not from desert nor mountains;

7 For God is judge. This one he humbles and that one he exalts.

but God himself is the judge, humbling one and exalting another.

8 For, in the hand of the Lord, there is a cup of undiluted wine, full of consternation. And he has tipped it from here to there. So, truly, its dregs have not been emptied. All the sinners of the earth will drink.

In the hand of the Lord is a cup foaming wine, richly spiced. Out of this he pours a draught, and all the wicked of earth must drain it down to the dregs.

9 But I will announce it in every age. I will sing to the God of Jacob.

But I will rejoice forever, singing praise to the God of Jacob.

10 And I will break all the horns of sinners. And the horns of the just will be exalted.

I will hew all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the just shall be lifted.
