Psalms 75
75
He Lowers One and Lifts Another
1For the music director: “Do not Destroy,” a psalm of Asaph, a song.
2We praise You, we praise God, for Your Name is near. People declare Your wonders.
3“When I appoint a set time, I Myself will judge uprightly.
4When the earth wavers with living on it, I Myself hold its pillars firm. Selah
5I say to the arrogant, ‘No more boasting!’ And to the wicked, ‘Do not be lifting up your horn.’
6Do not lift your horn up high. Do not speak with outstretched neck.”
7For exaltation comes not from the east nor from the west, nor even from the desert.
8For God is the Judge: He lowers one and lifts up another.
9For in the hand of Adonai is a cup of foaming wine mixed with spices, and He pours it out. Surely all the wicked of the earth will drink, draining it down to the dregs.
10But I—I will declare it forever, I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.
11I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.

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.”
