Psalms 75

1 [For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A Psalm by Asaph. A song.] We give thanks to you, God. We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works.

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 choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly.

At the appointed time I will judge fairly.

3 The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. (Selah)

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

4 I said to the arrogant, "Do not boast." I said to the wicked, "Do not lift up the horn.

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

5 Do not lift up your horn on high. Do not speak with a stiff neck."

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

6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.

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

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

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

8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours it out. Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.

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 this forever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

But I will continually tell what you have done; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

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