Psalm 75

Thanksgiving for God’s Future Help

75For the music director, according to Do Not Destroy.

A psalm of Asaph. A song.^a

¹We give thanks to you, O God;

we give thanks, and your name is near.

Your wonderful deeds are told.^b

²“I will indeed set an appointed time;

I will judge fairly.^c

³The earth and all its inhabitants are shaking;^d

I steady^e its columns. Selah

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

and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn!

⁵Do not lift up high your^f horn.

Do not speak with arrogant pride.’ ”^g

⁶For it is not from the east or the west

and not from the south^h that lifting up comes,

⁷rather God is the judge;

one he brings low, and another he lifts up.

⁸For there is a cup in the hand of Yahweh

withⁱ wine that foams, fully mixed,

and he pours out from this.

Surely all the wicked of the land

will quaff it down to its dregs. ^j

⁹But as for me, I will proclaim forever;

I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.

¹⁰“And all the horns of the wicked I will cut off.

The horns of the righteous will be lifted up.”
