Psalm 75

Psalm 75

GOD JUDGES THE WICKED

For the choir director: “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm of Asaph.^y A song.

¹We give thanks to you, God;

we give thanks to you, for your name is near.^*

People tell about your wondrous works.^z

²“When I choose a time,

I will judge fairly.^aa

³When the earth and all its inhabitants shake,

I am the one who steadies its pillars.^ab

Selah

⁴I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’

and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn.^ac

⁵Do not lift up your horn against heaven^A

or speak arrogantly.’ ”^ad

⁶Exaltation does not come

from the east, the west, or the desert,

⁷for God is the Judge:

He brings down one and exalts another.^ae

⁸For there is a cup in the Lord’s hand,

full of wine blended with spices, and he pours from it.

All the wicked of the earth will drink,

draining it to the dregs.^af

⁹As for me, I will tell about him forever;

I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.^a

¹⁰“I will cut off all the horns of the wicked,^b

but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.”^c
