Psalm 75

God the Judge^m

75 We give thanks to you, O God, we give thanks to you!

We proclaim how great you are

and tell ofⁿ the wonderful things you have done.

²“I have set a time for judgement,” says God,

“and I will judge with fairness.

³Though every living creature tremble

and the earth itself be shaken,

I will keep its foundations firm.

⁴I tell the wicked not to be arrogant;

⁵I tell them to stop their boasting.”

⁶Judgement does not come from the east or from the west,

from the north or from the south;^o

⁷it is God who is the judge,

condemning some and acquitting others.

⁸The Lord holds a cup in his hand,

filled with the strong wine of his anger.

He pours it out, and all the wicked drink it;

they drink it down to the last drop.

⁹But I will never stop speaking of the God of Jacob

or singing praises to him.

¹⁰He will break the power of the wicked,

but the power of the righteous will be increased.
