Psalms 75

1 Unto thee, O Elohim, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.

For the chief musician; set to Al Tashheth. A psalm of Asaph, a song. We give thanks to you, God; we give thanks, for you reveal your presence; people tell of your wondrous works.

2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

At the appointed time I will judge fairly.

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

Though the earth and all the inhabitants shake in fear, I make steady the earth's pillars. (Selah)

4 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

I said to the arrogant, “Do not be arrogant,” and to the wicked, “Do not lift up the horn.

5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

Do not lift up your horn to the heights; do not speak with an insolent neck.”

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

It is not from the east or from the west, and it is not from the wilderness that lifting up comes.

7 But Elohim is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

But God is the judge; he brings down and he lifts up.

8 For in the hand of YHWH there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

For Yahweh holds in his hand a cup of foaming wine, which is mixed with spices, and pours it out. Surely all the wicked of the earth will drink it to the last drop.

9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the Elohim of Jacob.

But I will continually tell what you have done; 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 exalted.

He says, “I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous will be raised up.”
