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 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 time, I will judge justices.

At the appointed time I will judge fairly.

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

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

4 I said to the wicked: Do not act wickedly: 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 iniquity against God.

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 from the desert hills:

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. One he putteth down, and another he lifteth up:

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

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 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 for ever: I will sing 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 just 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.”
