Psalm 75
For the director of music. A psalm of Asaph. A song to the tune of “Do Not Destroy.”
1God, we praise you.
We praise you because you are near to us.
People talk about the wonderful things you have done.
2You say, “I choose the appointed time to judge people.
And I judge them fairly.
3When the earth and all its people tremble,
I keep everything from falling to pieces.
4To the proud I say, ‘Don’t brag anymore.’
To sinners I say, ‘Don’t show off your power.
5Don’t show it off against me.
Don’t talk back to me.’ ”
6No one from east or west or north or south
can judge themselves.
7God is the one who judges.
He says to one person, “You are guilty.”
To another he says, “You are not guilty.”
8In the hand of the Lord is a cup.
It is full of wine mixed with spices.
It is the wine of his anger.
He pours it out. All the evil people on earth
drink it down to the very last drop.
9I will speak about this forever.
I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.
10God says, “I will destroy the power of all sinful people.
But I will make godly people more powerful.”

God Will Judge with Equity
To the choirmaster: according to #See Ps. 57, title Do Not Destroy. #See Ps. 50, titleA Psalm of Asaph. A Song.
1We give thanks to you, O God;
we give thanks, for your name is #Ps. 145:18near.
We#75:1 Hebrew They recount your wondrous deeds.
2“At #Dan. 8:19; Hab. 2:3; See Ps. 102:13 the set time that I appoint

and to the wicked, #ver. 10; Zech. 1:21‘Do not lift up your horn;
5do not lift up your horn on high,
or speak with haughty neck.’”
6For not from the east or from the west

7but it is #See Ps. 50:6 God who executes judgment,
#
1 Sam. 2:7; Dan. 2:21 putting down one and lifting up another.

with foaming wine, #Prov. 23:30 well mixed,
and he pours out from it,
and all the wicked of the earth
shall #Ps. 73:10drain it down to the dregs.
9But I will declare it forever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
