Psalm 75
75
To the Chief Musician; +[set to the tune of+] ``Do Not Destroy." A Psalm of Asaph. A song.
1 WE GIVE praise and thanks to You, O God, we praise and give thanks; Your wondrous works declare that Your Name is near and they who invoke Your Name rehearse Your wonders.
2 When the proper time has come [for executing My judgments], I will judge uprightly [says the Lord].
3 When the earth totters, and all the inhabitants of it, it is I Who will poise and keep steady its pillars. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
4 I said to the arrogant and boastful, Deal not arrogantly [do not boast]; and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn [of personal aggrandizement].
5 Lift not up your [aggressive] horn on high, speak not with a stiff neck and insolent arrogance.
6 For not from the east nor from the west nor from the south come promotion and lifting up. [Isa. 14:13.]
7 But God is the Judge! He puts down one and lifts up another.
8 For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup [of His wrath], and the wine foams and is red, well mixed; and He pours out from it, and all the wicked of the earth must drain it and drink its dregs. [Ps. 60:3; Jer. 25:15; Rev. 14:9, 10; 16:19.]
9 But I will declare and rejoice forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 All the horns of the ungodly also will I cut off [says the Lord], but the horns of the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall be exalted.

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.
