Psalm 75
75
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.

Psalms 75
75
God the Judge of the World
1For the leader. Do not destroy! A psalm of Asaph; a song.
I
2We thank you, God, we give thanks;
we call upon your name,
we declare your wonderful deeds.
[You said:]#You said: supplied for clarity here and in Ps 75:11. The translation assumes in both places that the psalmist is citing an oracle of God.
3“I will choose the time;
I will judge fairly.
4Though the earth and all its inhabitants quake,
I make steady its pillars.”#Ps 46:3; 60:4; 93:1; 96:10; 104:5; 1 Sm 2:8; Is 24:19.
Selah
II
5So I say to the boastful: “Do not boast!”#1 Sm 2:3; Zec 2:1–4.
to the wicked: “Do not raise your horns!#Do not raise your horns!: the horn is the symbol of strength; to raise one’s horn is to exalt one’s own power as Ps 75:5 explains.
6Do not raise your horns against heaven!
Do not speak with a stiff neck!”#Jb 15:25.
7For judgment comes not from east or from west,
not from the wilderness or the mountains,#Mt 24:23–27.
8But from God who decides,
who brings some low and raises others high.#Jb 5:11; 1 Sm 2:7.
9Yes, a cup#A cup: “the cup of God’s wrath” is the punishment inflicted on the wicked, cf. Is 51:17; Jer 25:15–29; 49:12; Ez 23:31–33. Spiced: lit., “a mixed drink”; spices or drugs were added to wine, cf. Prv 9:2, 5. is in the Lord’s hand,
foaming wine, fully spiced.#A cup: “the cup of God’s wrath” is the punishment inflicted on the wicked, cf. Is 51:17; Jer 25:15–29; 49:12; Ez 23:31–33. Spiced: lit., “a mixed drink”; spices or drugs were added to wine, cf. Prv 9:2, 5.
When God pours it out,
they will drain it even to the dregs;
all the wicked of the earth will drink.#Ps 60:5; Jb 21:20; Is 51:17, 21–22; Jer 25:15ff; Hab 2:16.
10But I will rejoice forever;
I will sing praise to the God of Jacob,
11#Ps 92:11.[Who has said:]
“I will cut off all the horns of the wicked,
but the horns of the righteous will be exalted.”
