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 Overseer. — 'Destroy not.' — A Psalm of Asaph. — A Song. We have given thanks to Thee, O God, We have given thanks, and near [is] Thy name, They have recounted Thy wonders.

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

When I receive an appointment, I — I do judge uprightly.

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

Melted is the earth and all its inhabitants, I — I have pondered its pillars. (Selah)

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

I have said to the boastful, 'Be not boastful,' And to the wicked, 'Raise not up a horn.'

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

Raise not up on high your horn, (Ye speak with a stiff neck.)

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

For not from the east, or from the west, Nor from the wilderness — [is] elevation.

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

But God [is] judge, This He maketh low — and this He lifteth 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 a cup [is] in the hand of Jehovah, And the wine hath foamed, It is full of mixture, and He poureth out of it, Only its dregs wring out, and drink, Do all the wicked of the earth,

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

And I — I declare [it] to the age, I sing 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.

And all horns of the wicked I cut off, Exalted are the horns of the righteous!
