Psalms Chapter 75

For the Choir Director. A Psalm of Asaph

A Song; Set to Do Not Destroy

¹ Thank you, God, for being close by;

      people declare your wonderful deeds.

² “When I set a time for judgment;

      I’ll judge even-handedly.

³ The earth and everybody in it melt;

      I’m the One that firmly set its pillars.                             

⁴ I said to people that brag, ‘Stop it,’

      and to sinners, ‘Don’t lift up your horns;

⁵ don’t raise them up high

      or talk with such arrogance.’”

Ps 75:1-5

⁶ Exaltation doesn’t come from the east or west,

         ⁷but from God, the judge;

      he puts one person down and raises another up.

⁸ There’s a cup of foaming wine in his hand;

                  he has mixed it well and pours it out;

      sinners have to drain it and drink its dregs.

⁹ I’ll sing praise to Jacob’s God;

      I’ll declare it forever.

¹⁰ He’ll cut off the horns of the wicked,

      but lift up the righteous.

Ps 75:6-10
