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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 declare for ever: 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: but the horns of the just shall be exalted.

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