Tehillim 75
75
(For the one directing. Set to Do Not Destroy. Mizmor Asaph. Shir)
1Hodinu l'cha Elohim (Unto thee, Elohim, do we give thanks). Hodinu; that Thy Shem is near Thy wondrous works declare.
2 I shall seize the mo'ed (appointed time),#75:2 Hab 2:3 I will judge uprightly.
3 Eretz and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolving; I, even I, hold up the ammudim (pillars) of it. Selah
4 I said unto the hollelim (arrogant), Deal not boastfully; and to the resha'im, Lift not up the keren;
5 Lift not up your keren on high; speak not with a stiff neck.
6 For promotion cometh lo (not) from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert.
7 But Elohim is the Shofet; He bringeth down one, and setteth up another.
8 For in the yad Hashem there is a kos, and the yayin is foaming; full of mixture; and He poureth out of the same; but the dregs thereof, all rishei aretz (wicked of the earth) shall drain them down, and drink them.#75:8 Lk 22:42
9 But I will proclaim l'olam; I will sing zemirot to Elohei Ya'akov.
10 All the karnayim of the resha'im also will I cut off; but the karnayim of the tzaddik shall be exalted.#75:10 T.N. In this Psalm we see that G-d is Judge. The Bible speaks of a great Assize where there will be a verdict regarding the sheep and the goats, the redeemed and the reprobate. See Rv 19:1 and 20:4-5.

Psalms 75
75
Psalm 75#In Hebrew texts 75:1-10 is numbered 75:2-11.
For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm of Asaph. A song.
1We praise you, God,
we praise you, for your Name is near;
people tell of your wonderful deeds.
2You say, “I choose the appointed time;
it is I who judge with equity.
3When the earth and all its people quake,
it is I who hold its pillars firm.#75:3 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here.
4To the arrogant I say, ‘Boast no more,’
and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horns.#75:4 Horns here symbolize strength; also in verses 5 and 10.
5Do not lift your horns against heaven;
do not speak so defiantly.’ ”
6No one from the east or the west
or from the desert can exalt themselves.
7It is God who judges:
He brings one down, he exalts another.
8In the hand of the Lord is a cup
full of foaming wine mixed with spices;
he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth
drink it down to its very dregs.
9As for me, I will declare this forever;
I will sing praise to the God of Jacob,
10who says, “I will cut off the horns of all the wicked,
but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.”
