Psalms 75
75
For the choir director: A psalm of Asaph. A song to be sung to the tune “Do Not Destroy!”
1We thank you, O God!
We give thanks because you are near.
People everywhere tell of your wonderful deeds.
2God says, “At the time I have planned,
I will bring justice against the wicked.
3When the earth quakes and its people live in turmoil,
I am the one who keeps its foundations firm. Interlude
4“I warned the proud, ‘Stop your boasting!’
I told the wicked, ‘Don’t raise your fists!
5Don’t raise your fists in defiance at the heavens
or speak with such arrogance.’”
6For no one on earth—from east or west,
or even from the wilderness—
should raise a defiant fist.#75:6 Hebrew should lift.
7It is God alone who judges;
he decides who will rise and who will fall.
8For the Lord holds a cup in his hand
that is full of foaming wine mixed with spices.
He pours out the wine in judgment,
and all the wicked must drink it,
draining it to the dregs.
9But as for me, I will always proclaim what God has done;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10For God says, “I will break the strength of the wicked,
but I will increase the power of the godly.”

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
I will judge #Ps. 17:2with equity.
3When the earth #Isa. 24:19 totters, and all its inhabitants,
it is I who keep steady its #1 Sam. 2:8pillars. Selah
4I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’
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
and not from the wilderness comes #See Ps. 3:3lifting up,
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.
8 # See Job 21:20 For in the hand of the Lord there is #Ps. 11:6 a cup
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.
10 #
Jer. 48:25 All the horns of the wicked I will cut off,
# ver. 4; Ps. 89:17; 112:9; 1 Sam. 2:1 but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
