Psalm 75–76

Psalm LXXV.

To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, 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 ^anear thy wondrous works declare.

^2bWhen I shall receive the congregation

I will judge ^cuprightly.

^3dThe earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved:

I bear up ^ethe pillars of it. Selah.

⁴I said unto the ^ffools, Deal not foolishly:

And to the wicked, ^gLift not up the horn:

⁵Lift not up your horn on high:

Speak not with a ^hstiff ⁱneck.

⁶For promotion cometh neither from the east,

Nor from the west, nor from the south.

⁷But ^kGod is the judge:

^lHe putteth down one, and setteth up another.

⁸For ^min the hand of the Lord there is ⁿa cup, and the wine is red;

It is full of ^omixture; and he poureth out of the same:

But the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall ^pwring them out, and drink them.

⁹But I will declare for ever;

I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

¹⁰All ^qthe horns of the wicked also will I cut off;

But ^rthe horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

Psalm LXXVI.

To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song of Asaph.

In ^aJudah is God known:

His name is great in Israel.

²In ^bSalem also is his ^ctabernacle,

And his dwelling place in Zion.

³There ^dbrake he the ^earrows of the bow,

The shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.

⁴Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of ^fprey.

^5gThe stouthearted are spoiled, they have ^hslept their sleep:

And none of the men of might have found their hands.

⁶At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob,

Both ⁱthe chariot and horse ^hare cast into a dead sleep.

⁷Thou, even thou, art ^rto be feared:

And who may ^kstand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

^8lThou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven;

The earth feared, and was still,

⁹When God arose ^lto judgment,

To save all the meek of the earth. Selah.

^10mSurely the wrath of man shall praise thee:

The remainder of wrath shalt thou ⁿrestrain.

^11oVow, and pay unto the Lord your God:

^pLet all that be round about him ^qbring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

¹²He shall cut off the spirit of princes: He is ^rterrible to the kings of the earth.
