Psalm 75:6–7

For not from the east or from the west

and not from the wilderness comes lifting up,

but it is God who executes judgment,

putting down one and lifting up another.

No one from the east or the west

or from the desert can exalt themselves.

It is God who judges:

He brings one down, he exalts another.

Exaltation does not come

from the east, the west, or the desert,

for God is the Judge:

He brings down one and exalts another.

For no one on earth—from east or west,

or even from the wilderness—

should raise a defiant fist.

It is God alone who judges;

he decides who will rise and who will fall.

For it is not from the east or the west

and not from the south that lifting up comes,

rather God is the judge;

one he brings low, and another he lifts up.

For promotion cometh neither from the east,

Nor from the west, nor from the south.

But God is the judge:

He putteth down one, and setteth up another.
