Psalms 75

1 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.

Unto the end, corrupt not, a psalm of a canticle for Asaph. We will praise thee, O God: we will praise, and we will call upon thy name. We will relate thy wondrous works:

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

When I shall take a time, I will judge justices.

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

The earth is melted, and all that dwell therein: I have established the pillars thereof.

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

I said to the wicked: Do not act wickedly: and to the sinners: Lift not up the horn.

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

Lift not up your horn on high: speak not iniquity against God.

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

For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert hills:

7 For, God himself, is about to judge, One, he will cast down, Another, he will lift up;

For God is the judge. One he putteth down, and another he lifteth up:

8 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.

For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup of strong wine full of mixture. And he hath poured it out from this to that: but the dregs thereof are not emptied: all the sinners of the earth shall drink.

9 But, I, will exult unto times age-abiding, I will sing praises unto the God of Jacob;

But I will declare for ever: I will sing to the God of Jacob.

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

And I will break all the horns of sinners: but the horns of the just shall be exalted.
