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.

Psalms 75
75
To the director: To the tune “Don’t Destroy.” One of Asaph’s songs of praise.
1We praise you, God!
We praise you because you#75:1 you Literally, “your name.” are near to us.
We tell about the amazing things you have done.
2God says, “I have chosen a time for judgment,
and I will judge fairly.
3The earth and all its people may shake,
but I am the one who keeps it steady. Selah
4“To those who are proud I say, ‘Stop your boasting.’
I warn the wicked, ‘Don’t brag about how strong you are.
5Don’t be so sure that you will win.
Don’t boast that victory is yours!’”
6There is no power on earth
that can make a person important.#75:6 Literally, “Not from the east or the west and not from the desert mountains.”
7God is the judge.
He decides who will be important.
He lifts one person up and brings another down.
8The Lord has a cup in his hand.
It is filled with the poisoned wine of his anger.
He will pour out this wine,
and the wicked will drink it to the last drop.
9I will always tell people how great God is.
I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.
10God says, “I will take away any power the wicked have
and give it to those who are good.”
