Psalms 75
God Abases the Proud, but Exalts the Righteous.
For the choir director; set to [a]Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song.
1 We (a)give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks,
For Your name is (b)near;
Men declare (c)Your wondrous works.
2 "When I select an (d)appointed time,
It is I who (e)judge with equity.
3 "The (f)earth and all who dwell in it [b]melt;
It is I who have firmly set its (g)pillars. [c]Selah.
4 "I said to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,'
And to the wicked, ‘(h)Do not lift up the horn;
5 Do not lift up your horn on high,
(i)Do not speak with insolent [d]pride.'"
6 For not from the east, nor from the west,
Nor from the [e](j)desert comes exaltation;
7 But (k)God is the Judge;
He (l)puts down one and exalts another.
8 For a (m)cup is in the hand of the Lord, and the wine foams;
It is [f](n)well mixed, and He pours out of this;
Surely all the wicked of the earth must drain and (o)drink down its dregs.
9 But as for me, I will (p)declare it forever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 And all the (q)horns of the wicked [g]He will cut off,
But (r)the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.
