< Psalms 75 >

1 For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. We give thanks unto thee, O God; we give thanks, for thy name is near: men tell of thy wondrous works.
For the end, Destroy not, a Psalm of a Song for Asaph. We will give thanks to you, O God, we will give thanks, and call upon your name: I will declare all your wonderful works.
2 When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly.
When I shall take a set time, I will judge righteously.
3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have set up the pillars of it. (Selah)
The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it: I have strengthened its pillars. (Pause)
4 I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
I said to the transgressors, Do not transgress; and to the sinners, Lift not up the horn.
5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not with a stiff neck.
Lift not up your horn on high; speak not unrighteousness against God.
6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, [cometh] lifting up.
For [good comes] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert mountains.
7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and lifteth up another.
For God is the judge; he puts down one, and raises up another.
8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine foameth; it is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same: surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.
For [there is] a cup in the hand of the Lord, full of unmingled wine; and he has turned [it] from side to side, but its dregs have not been wholly poured out; all the sinners of the earth shall drink [them].
9 But I will declare for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
But I will exult for ever: 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.
And I will break all the horns of sinners; but the horns of the righteous one shall be exalted.
