Psalms 75

1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, A Psalm or Song of Asaph. To thee, O God, do we give thanks, to thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.

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 receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

When I shall take a set time, I will judge righteously.

3 The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved: I bear up its pillars. (Selah)

The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it: I have strengthened its pillars. (Pause)

4 I said to the fools, Deal not foolishly: 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 promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

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 setteth 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 is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but its dregs, 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 exalted.

And I will break all the horns of sinners; but the horns of the righteous one shall be exalted.
