Psalm 75

God Humbles the Proud, but Exalts the Righteous.

For the music director; set to #75:0 Lit Do Not DestroyAl-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song.

1 We give thanks to You, God, we give thanks,

For Your name is near;

People declare Your wondrous works.

2 "When I select an appointed time,

It is I who judge fairly.

3 "The earth and all who inhabit it *75:3 Lit totterare unsteady;

It is I who have firmly set its pillars. Selah

4 "I said to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’

And to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn;

5 Do not lift up your horn on high,

Do not speak with insolent *75:5 Lit neckpride.’ "

6 For not from the east, nor from the west,

Nor from the *75:6 Or mountainous desertdesert comes exaltation;

7 But God is the Judge;

He puts down one and exalts another.

8 For a cup is in the hand of the Lord, and the wine foams;

It is *75:8 Lit full of mixturewell mixed, and He pours out of this;

Certainly all the wicked of the earth must drain and drink its dregs.

9 But as for me, I will declare it forever;

I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 And *75:10 Heb IHe will cut off all the horns of the wicked,

But the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.
