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.

Psalm 75
God Abases the Proud, but Exalts the Righteous.
To the Chief Musician; set to [the tune of] “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.
1We give thanks and praise to You, O God, we give thanks,
For Your [wonderful works declare that Your] #75:1 See note Deut 12:5.name is near;
People declare Your wonders.
2“When I select an appointed time,
I will judge with equity,” [says the Lord].
3“The earth and all the inhabitants of it melt [in tumultuous times].
It is I who will steady its pillars. Selah.
4“I said to the arrogant, ‘Do not boast;’
And to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn [of self-glorification].
5‘Do not lift up your [defiant and aggressive] horn on high,
Do not speak with a stiff neck.’ ”
6¶For not from the east, nor from the west,
Nor from the desert comes exaltation. [Is 14:13]
7But God is the Judge;
He puts down one and lifts up another.
8For a cup [of His wrath] is in the hand of the Lord, and the wine foams;
It is well mixed and fully spiced, and He pours out from it;
And all the wicked of the earth must drain it and drink down to its dregs. [Ps 60:3; Jer 25:15; Rev 14:9, 10; 16:19]
9¶But as for me, I will declare it and rejoice forever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10All the horns of the wicked He will cut off,
But the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.
