Psalms 75

NEW AMERICAN BIBLEKING JAMES BIBLE
1 For the leader. Do not destroy! A psalm of Asaph; a song.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.
2 We thank you, God, we give thanks; we call upon your name, declare your wonderful deeds. You said:2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
3 "I will choose the time; I will judge fairly.3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
4 The earth and all its inhabitants will quake, but I have firmly set its pillars." Selah4 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
5 So I say to the boastful: "Do not boast!" to the wicked: "Do not raise your horns!5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.
6 Do not raise your horns against heaven! Do not speak arrogantly against the Rock!"6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
7 For judgment comes not from east or from west, not from the desert or from the mountains,7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
8 But from God who decides, who brings some low and raises others high.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.
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.9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 But I will rejoice forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob,10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
11 Who has said: "I will break off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the just shall be lifted up."
