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:

To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, A Psalm [or] Song of Asaph. To thee, O God, do we give thanks, [to thee] do we give thanks: for [that] thy name is near, thy wondrous works declare.

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

When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

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

The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. (Selah)

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

I said to the fools, Deal not foolishly; and to the wicked, 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 with] a stiff neck.

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

For promotion [cometh] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

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

But God [is] the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth 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 in the hand of the LORD [there is] a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs of it all the wicked of the earth shall wring [them] out, [and] drink [them].

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

But I will declare 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.

All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; [but] the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
