Psalm 75

God Judges with Equity

For the choir director.
Lit Do Not Destroy
Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph.

A Song.

1We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks,
For Your name is near;
Men recount Your wondrous deeds.
2“For I select an appointed time,
It is I who judge with equity.
3“The earth and all who dwell in it
Or totter
melt;
It is I who have firmly set its pillars.

4“I said to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’
And to the wicked, ‘Do not raise up the horn;
5Do not raise up your horn on high,
Nor speak with insolent
Lit neck
pride.’ ”
6For one’s rising up does not come from the east, nor from the west,
And not from the
Or mountainous desert
desert;
7But God is the Judge;
He puts down one and raises up another.
8For a cup is in the hand of Yahweh, and the wine foams;
It is full of His mixture, and He pours from this;
Surely all the wicked of the earth must drain and drink down its dregs.
9But as for me, I will declare it forever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10And all the horns of the wicked I will cut off,
But the horns of the righteous will be raised up.
