Psalms 75

   |   

God Humbles the Proud, but Exalts the Righteous.

For the music director; set to (FA)Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song.

1 We (C1)give thanks to You, God, we give thanks,
For Your name is (C2)near;
People declare (C3)Your wondrous works.

2 "When I select an (C1)appointed time,
It is I who (C2)judge fairly.

3 "The (C1)earth and all who inhabit it (F1)are unsteady;
It is I who have firmly set its (C2)pillars. Selah

4 "I said to the boastful, 'Do not boast,'
And to the wicked, '(C1)Do not lift up the horn;

5 Do not lift up your horn on high,
(C1)Do not speak with insolent (F1)pride.'"

6 For not from the east, nor from the west,
Nor from the (F1)(C1)desert comes exaltation;

7 But (C1)God is the Judge;
He (C2)puts down one and exalts another.

8 For a (C1)cup is in the hand of the LORD, and the wine foams;
It is (F1)(C2)well mixed, and He pours out of this;
Certainly all the wicked of the earth must drain and (C3)drink its dregs.

9 But as for me, I will (C1)declare it forever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 And (F1)He will cut off all the (C1)horns of the wicked,
But (C2)the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.
