Psalm 75

PSALM 75

God Judges with Equity

For the choir director. ^†Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph. ^•A Song.

¹We ^agive thanks to You, O God, we give thanks,

For Your name is ^bnear;

Men recount ^cYour wondrous deeds.

²“For I select an ^aappointed time,

It is I who ^bjudge with equity.

³“The ^aearth and all who dwell in it ¹melt;

It is I who have firmly set its ^bpillars. ²Selah.

⁴“I said to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’

And to the wicked, ‘^aDo not raise up the horn;

⁵Do not raise up your horn on high,

^aNor speak with insolent ¹pride.’”

⁶For one’s rising up does not come from the east, nor from the west,

And not from the ^1adesert;

⁷But ^aGod is the Judge;

He ^bputs down one and raises up another.

⁸For a ^acup is in the hand of Yahweh, and the wine foams;

It is ^bfull of His mixture, and He pours from this;

Surely all the wicked of the earth must drain and ^cdrink down its dregs.

⁹But as for me, I will ^adeclare it forever;

I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

¹⁰And all the ^ahorns of the wicked I will cut off,

But ^bthe horns of the righteous will be raised up.
