Psalm 75–76

God Will Judge with Equity

75To the choirmaster: according to ^lDo Not Destroy. ^mA Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

¹We give thanks to you, O God;

we give thanks, for your name is ⁿnear.

We¹ recount your wondrous deeds.

²“At ^othe set time that I appoint

I will judge ^pwith equity.

³When the earth ^qtotters, and all its inhabitants,

it is I who keep steady its ^rpillars. Selah

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

and to the wicked, ^s‘Do not lift up your horn;

⁵do not lift up your horn on high,

or speak with haughty neck.’ ”

⁶For not from the east or from the west

and not from the wilderness comes ^tlifting up,

⁷but it is ^uGod who executes judgment,

^vputting down one and lifting up another.

^8wFor in the hand of the Lord there is ^xa cup

with foaming wine, ^ywell mixed,

and he pours out from it,

and all the wicked of the earth

shall ^zdrain it down to the dregs.

⁹But I will declare it forever;

I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

^10aAll the horns of the wicked I will cut off,

^bbut the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

Who Can Stand Before You?

76To the choirmaster: with ^cstringed instruments. A Psalm of ^dAsaph. A Song.

¹In Judah God is ^eknown;

his name is great in Israel.

²His ^fabode has been established in ^gSalem,

his ^hdwelling place in Zion.

³There he ⁱbroke the flashing arrows,

the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah

⁴Glorious are you, more majestic

^jthan the mountains full of ^kprey.

^5lThe stouthearted were stripped of their spoil;

^mthey sank into sleep;

all the men of war

were unable to use their hands.

⁶At your rebuke, O God of Jacob,

both ⁿrider and horse lay stunned.

^7oBut you, you are to be feared!

Who can ^pstand before you

when once your anger is roused?

⁸From the heavens you uttered judgment;

^qthe earth feared and was still,

⁹when God ^rarose to establish judgment,

to save all the humble of the earth. Selah

¹⁰Surely ^sthe wrath of man shall praise you;

the remnant¹ of wrath you will put on like a belt.

^11tMake your vows to the Lord your God and perform them;

let all around him ^ubring gifts

to him who ^vis to be feared,

¹²who ^wcuts off the spirit of princes,

who ^xis to be feared by the kings of the earth.
