Psalm 75
75
God Abases the Wicked and Exalts the Righteous
To the chief Musician, Altas´chith, A Psalm or Song of Asaph.
1Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks,
unto thee do we give thanks:
for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
2When I shall receive the congregation
I will judge uprightly.
3The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved:
I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
4I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly:
and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
5lift not up your horn on high:
speak not with a stiff neck.
6For promotion cometh neither from the east,
nor from the west, nor from the south.
7But God is the judge:
he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
8For in the hand of the Lord
there is a cup, and the wine is red;
it is full of mixture;
and he poureth out of the same:
but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.
9But I will declare for ever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off;
but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

Psalms 75

Psalm 75
For the choir director; al tashcheth; a psalm by Asaph; a song.
1We give thanks to you, O God; we give thanks.
You are present, and your miracles confirm that.
2When I choose the right time,
I will judge fairly.
3When the earth and everyone who lives on it begin to melt,
I will make its foundations as solid as rock. Selah
4I said to those who brag, “Don’t brag,”
and to wicked people,
“Don’t raise your weapons.
5Don’t raise your weapons so proudly
or speak so defiantly.”
6The ⌞authority⌟ to reward someone does not ⌞come⌟
from the east,
from the west,
or ⌞even⌟ from the wilderness.
7God alone is the judge.
He punishes one person and rewards another.
8A cup is in the Lord’s hand.
(Its foaming wine is thoroughly mixed with spices.)
He will empty it,
⌞and⌟ all the wicked people on earth
will have to drink every last drop.
9But I will speak ⌞about your miracles⌟ forever.
I will make music to praise the God of Jacob.
10I will destroy all the weapons of wicked people,
but the weapons of righteous people will be raised proudly.
