Psalm 75

Psalm 75

For the choir director; al tashcheth; a psalm by Asaph; a song. 

¹We give thanks to you, O God; we give thanks. 

You are present, and your miracles confirm that. 

²When I choose the right time, 

I will judge fairly. 

³When the earth and everyone who lives on it begin to melt, 

I will make its foundations as solid as rock. 

Selah 

⁴I said to those who brag, “Don’t brag,” 

and to wicked people, 

“Don’t raise your weapons. 

⁵Don’t raise your weapons so proudly 

or speak so defiantly.” 

⁶The ⸤authority⸥ to reward someone does not ⸤come⸥ 

from the east, 

from the west, 

or ⸤even⸥ from the wilderness. 

⁷God alone is the judge. 

He punishes one person and rewards another. 

⁸A cup is in the Lord’s hand. 

(Its foaming wine is thoroughly mixed with spices.) 

He will empty it, 

⸤and⸥ all the wicked people on earth 

will have to drink every last drop. 

⁹But I will speak ⸤about your miracles⸥ forever. 

I will make music to praise the God of Jacob. 

¹⁰I will destroy all the weapons of wicked people, 

but the weapons of righteous people will be raised proudly.
