Psalms 75

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.	1 For the leader. Do not destroy! A psalm of Asaph; a song.
2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.	2 We thank you, God, we give thanks; we call upon your name, declare your wonderful deeds. You said:
3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.	3 "I will choose the time; I will judge fairly.
4 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:	4 The earth and all its inhabitants will quake, but I have firmly set its pillars." Selah
5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.	5 So I say to the boastful: "Do not boast!" to the wicked: "Do not raise your horns!
6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.	6 Do not raise your horns against heaven! Do not speak arrogantly against the Rock!"
7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.	7 For judgment comes not from east or from west, not from the desert or from the mountains,
8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.	8 But from God who decides, who brings some low and raises others high.
9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.	9 Yes, a cup is in the LORD'S hand, foaming wine, fully spiced. When God pours it out, they will drain it even to the dregs; all the wicked of the earth must drink.
10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.	10 But I will rejoice forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob,
	11 Who has said: "I will break off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the just shall be lifted up."
