Psalms 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

1 We 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

3 The earth and all its inhabitants are shaking;*Or "melting away"

I steady*Hebrew "I, I steady" might be emphatic its columns. Selah

4 I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast!’

and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn!

5 Do not lift up high your*Plural horn.

Do not speak with arrogant pride.’ "*Hebrew "an unrestrained neck"

6 For it is not from the east or the west

and not from the south*Hebrew "wilderness" that lifting up comes,

7 rather God is the judge;

one he brings low, and another he lifts up.

8 For 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"

9 But 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."
