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

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

When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

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

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

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

I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, 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 with a stiff neck.

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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 praises to the Elohim of Jacob.

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

All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
