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 the Chief Musician. "Do not Destroy." A Melody of Asaph, a Song. We have given thanks unto thee, O God, we have given thanks, And, in calling upon thy Name, men have recounted thy wonders.

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

Surely I will take a set time, —I, with equity, will judge:

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

Earth was melting away with all its inhabitants, I, have fixed the pillars thereof. (Selah)

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

I have said to the boasters, Do not boast, And to the lawless, Do not lift up a horn;

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

Do not lift up on high your horn, Nor speak of the Rock, with arrogance;

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

For neither from east nor west, Nor from the wilderness of the mountains [cometh exaltation];

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

For, God himself, is about to judge, One, he will cast down, Another, he will lift 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, a cup, is in the hand of Yahweh, Whose wine is foaming, It is full of spiced wine, Which he hath caused to flow from one to another, —Surely, the dregs thereof, they shall drain out—they shall drink, Even all the lawless ones of the earth.

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

But, I, will exult unto times age-abiding, I will sing praises unto 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.

But, all the horns of the lawless, will I hew off, —Exalted shall be the horns of the Righteous One.
