Psalms 75

1 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:

For the end, Destroy not, a Psalm of a Song for Asaph. We will give thanks to you, O God, we will give thanks, and call upon your name: I will declare all your wonderful works.

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

When I shall take a set time, I will judge righteously.

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

The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it: I have strengthened its pillars. (Pause)

4 I said to the wicked: Do not act wickedly: and to the sinners: Lift not up the horn.

I said to the transgressors, Do not transgress; and to the sinners, Lift not up the horn.

5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not iniquity against God.

Lift not up your horn on high; speak not unrighteousness against God.

6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert hills:

For [good comes] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert mountains.

7 For God is the judge. One he putteth down, and another he lifteth up:

For God is the judge; he puts down one, and raises up another.

8 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.

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].

9 But I will declare for ever: I will sing to the God of Jacob.

But I will exult for ever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

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

And I will break all the horns of sinners; but the horns of the righteous one shall be exalted.
