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.

To him that excelleth. Destroy not. A Psalme or song committed toAsaph. We will prayse thee, O God, we will prayse thee, for thy Name is neere: therefore they will declare thy wonderous workes.

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

When I shall take a conuenient time, I will iudge righteously.

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

The earth and all the inhabitantes thereof are dissolued: but I will establish the pillars of it. (Selah)

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

I saide vnto the foolish, Be not so foolish, and to the wicked, Lift not vp the horne.

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

Lift not vp your horne on high, neither speake with a stiffe necke.

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

For to come to preferment is neither from the East, nor from the West, nor from the South,

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

But God is the iudge: he maketh lowe and he maketh hie.

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 the Lord is a cup, and the wine is red: it is full mixt, and he powreth out of the same: surely all the wicked of the earth shall wring out and drinke the dregges thereof.

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

But I will declare for euer, and sing prayses vnto the God of Iaakob.

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

All the hornes of the wicked also will I breake: but the hornes of the righteous shalbe exalted.
