Psalm 75

Psalm 75

For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm of Asaph. A song.

^*We praise you, God,

we praise you, for your Name is near;^a

people tell of your wonderful deeds.^b

You say, “I choose the appointed time;^c

it is I who judge with equity.^d

When the earth and all its people quake,^e

it is I who hold its pillars^f firm.

To the arrogant^g I say, ‘Boast no more,’^h

and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horns.ⁱ

Do not lift your horns against heaven;

do not speak with outstretched neck.^j’ ”

No one from the east or the west

or from the desert can exalt themselves.

It is God who judges:^k

He brings one down, he exalts another.^l

In the hand of the Lord is a cup

full of foaming wine mixed^m with spices;

he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth

drink it down to its very dregs.ⁿ

As for me, I will declare^o this forever;

I will sing^p praise to the God of Jacob,^q

who says, “I will cut off the horns of all the wicked,

but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.”^r
