PSALM 75
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician, Al-taschith,
A Psalm or Song of Asaph.
1To thee, O God, do we give thanks,
we do give thanks to thee;
Because thy wondrous works declare
thy great name near to be.
2I purpose, when I shall receive
the congregation,
That I shall judgment uprightly
render to ev'ry one.
3Dissolved is the land, with all
that in the same do dwell;
But I the pillars thereof do
Bear up, and stablish well.
4I to the foolish people said,
Do not deal foolishly;
And unto those that wicked are,
Lift not your horn on high.
5Lift not your horn on high, nor speak
6with stubborn neck. But know,
That not from east, nor west, nor south,
promotion doth flow.
7But God is judge; he puts down one,
and sets another up.
8For in the hand of God most high
of red wine is a cup:
'Tis full of mixture, he pours forth,
and makes the wicked all
Wring out the bitter dregs thereof; yea,
and they drink them shall.
9But I for ever will declare,
I Jacob's God will praise.
10All horns of lewd men I'll cut off;
but just men's horns will raise.

Psalms 75

PSALM 75.
1Unto the end, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians.
2In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel.
3And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:
4There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battle.
5Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.
6All the foolish of heart were troubled. They have slept their sleep; and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.
7At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.
8Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.
9Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,
10When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.
11For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.
12Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,
13even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.
