Psalms 75

1For the leader; al tashḥeth.A psalm of Asaph, a song.

2We praise You, O God;we praise You;Your presence is near;people tell of Your wondrous deeds.

3“At the time I choose,I will give judgment equitably.

4Earth and all its inhabitants dissolve;it is I who keep its pillars firm. Selah.

5To the wanton I say, ‘Do not be wanton!’to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horns!’”

6Do not lift your horns up highin vainglorious bluster.

7For exaltation comes not from the eastor from the west or the wilderness; (with qamaṣ, not pataḥ), as in many mss.

8for God it is who gives judgment—bringing down one and lifting up another.

9There is a cup in GOD’s handwith foaming wine fully mixed;from this [God] pours;all the wicked of the earth drink,draining it to the very dregs.

10As for me, I will declare forever,I will sing a hymn to the God of Jacob.

11“All the horns of the wicked I will cut;but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.”
