Psalm 75

1 We give thanks unto thee, O God; We give thanks, for thy name is near: Men tell of thy wondrous works.

2 When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly.

3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have set up the pillars of it. Selah

4 I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly; And to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

5 Lift not up your horn on high; Speak not with a stiff neck.

6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, Nor yet from the south, cometh lifting up.

7 But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.

8 For in the hand of Jehovah 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 drain them, and drink them.

9 But I will declare 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.

Psalm 75

For the music director; according to the al-tashcheth style; a psalm of Asaph; a song.

1 We give thanks to you, O God! We give thanks!
You reveal your presence;
people tell about your amazing deeds.

2 God says,
“At the appointed times,
I judge fairly.

3 When the earth and all its inhabitants dissolve in fear,
I make its pillars secure.” (Selah)

4 I say to the proud, “Do not be proud,”
and to the wicked, “Do not be so confident of victory!

5 Do not be so certain you have won!
Do not speak with your head held so high!

6 For victory does not come from the east or west,
or from the wilderness.

7 For God is the judge!
He brings one down and exalts another.

8 For the Lord holds in his hand a cup full
of foaming wine mixed with spices,
and pours it out.
Surely all the wicked of the earth
will slurp it up and drink it to its very last drop.”

9 As for me, I will continually tell what you have done;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob!

10 God says,
“I will bring down all the power of the wicked;
the godly will be victorious.”
