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.

God Judges the Wicked
For the choir director: “Do Not Destroy.” # Possibly a tune A psalm of Asaph. # 1Ch 16:5,7 A song.
1We give thanks to You, God;
we give thanks to You, for Your name is near.

3When the earth and all its inhabitants shake,
I am the One who steadies its pillars. # 1Sm 2:8; Ps 46:6; Is 24:19Selah

8For there is a cup in the Lord’s hand,

but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.” # Ps 89:17; 92:10; 148:14
