Psalms 75

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

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

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

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

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

Do not lift your horns up high in vainglorious bluster.

For exaltation comes not from the east or from the west or the wilderness;

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

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

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

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