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
Thanksgiving for God’s Future Help
For the music director, according to Do Not Destroy.
A psalm of Asaph. A song.#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm; the English verse number is reduced by one
1We give thanks to you, O God;
we give thanks, and your name is near.
Your wonderful deeds are told.#Hebrew “They tell your wonderful deeds”
2“I will indeed set an appointed time;
I will judge fairly.#Hebrew “I, I will judge” might be emphatic
3The earth and all its inhabitants are shaking;#Or “melting away”
I steady#Hebrew “I, I steady” might be emphatic its columns. Selah
4I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast!’
and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn!
5Do not lift up high your#Plural horn.
Do not speak with arrogant pride.’ ”#Hebrew “an unrestrained neck”
6For it is not from the east or the west
and not from the south#Hebrew “wilderness” that lifting up comes,
7rather God is the judge;
one he brings low, and another he lifts up.
8For there is a cup in the hand of Yahweh
with#Hebrew “and” wine that foams, fully mixed,
and he pours out from this.
Surely all the wicked of the land
will quaff it down to its dregs. #Literally “they will drain, they will drink its dregs”
9But as for me, I will proclaim forever;
I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.
10“And all the horns of the wicked I will cut off.
The horns of the righteous will be lifted up.”
