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.”
