Psalms, 75

1. <To the chief Musician, Altaschith, A Psalm [or] Song of Asaph.> Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, [unto thee] do we give thanks: for [that] thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.

1.

2. When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

2. We give you thanks, O God, we give thanks. Those who invoke your name, will recount your wonderful deeds.

3. The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.

3. "At a set time I will judge fairly.

4. I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

4. The earth wobbles with its inhabitants, but I will restore its foundations.

5. Lift not up your horn on high: speak [not with] a stiff neck.

5. To the proud I say, 'Boast no more.'And to the wicked, 'Raise not your head.

6. For promotion [cometh] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

6. Do not lift yourself so high, do not insult God.'"

7. But God [is] the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

7. God comes, though not from the east or the west, nor from the mountains or desert;

8. For in the hand of the LORD [there is] a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring [them] out, [and] drink [them].

8. God comes to judge, putting one down and lifting up another.

9. But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

9. In the hand of the Lord is a cup of spiced and foaming wine; he pours it out for the wicked to drain to the dregs.

10. All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; [but] the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

10. As for me, I will rejoice forever and sing praises to the God of Jacob.

11.

11. He will break the power of the wicked, but the power of the virtuous will be exalted.
