Psalms 75
1 Unto you, O God, do we give thanks, unto you do we give thanks: for that your name is near your wondrous works declare.
To the chief music-maker; put to Al-tashheth. A Psalm. Of Asaph. A Song. To you, O God, we give praise, to you we give praise: and those who give honour to your name make clear your works of power.
2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
When the right time has come, I will be the judge in righteousness.
3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. (Selah)
When the earth and all its people become feeble, I am the support of its pillars. (Selah)
4 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
I say to the men of pride, Let your pride be gone: and to the sinners, Let not your horn be lifted up.
5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.
Let not your horn be lifted up: let no more words of pride come from your outstretched necks.
6 For promotion comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
For honour does not come from the east, or from the west, or uplifting from the south;
7 But God is the judge: he puts down one, and sets up another.
But God is the judge, putting down one, and lifting up another.
8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he pours out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.
For in the hand of the Lord is a cup, and the wine is red; it is well mixed, overflowing from his hand: he will make all the sinners of the earth take of it, even to the last drop.
9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
But I will ever be full of joy, making songs of praise to the God of Jacob.
10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
By him will all the horns of the sinners be cut off; but the horns of the upright will be lifted up.
