Psalms 75

1 For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. We give thanks unto Thee, O God, we give thanks, and Thy name is near; men tell of Thy wondrous works.

We give thanks to thee, O God. We give thanks, for thy name is near. Men tell of thy wondrous works.

2 'When I take the appointed time, I Myself will judge with equity.

When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly;

3 When the earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved, I Myself establish the pillars of it.' (Selah)

when the earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved. I have set up the pillars of it. (Selah)

4 I say unto the arrogant: 'Deal not arrogantly'; and to the wicked: 'Lift not up the horn.'

I said to the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly, and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn.

5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not insolence with a haughty neck.

Lift not up your horn on high. Speak not with a stiff neck.

6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the wilderness, cometh lifting up.

For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes lifting up.

7 For God is judge; He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.

But God is the judge. He put one down, and lifts another up.

8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, with foaming wine, full of mixture, and He poureth out of the same; surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.

For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and the wine foams. It is full of mixture, and he pours out of the same, surely to the dregs of it. All the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.

9 But as for me, I will declare for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

But I will declare forever. I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

All the horns of the wicked I will also cut off, but the horns of a righteous man shall be lifted up.
