Psalms 75

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 For the leader. Do not destroy! A psalm of Asaph; a song.	1 Unto the end. With Praises. A Psalm of Asaph. A Canticle to the Assyrians.
2 We thank you, God, we give thanks; we call upon your name, declare your wonderful deeds. You said:	2 In Judea, God is known. In Israel, his name is great.
3 "I will choose the time; I will judge fairly.	3 And his place has been formed with peace. And his dwelling place is in Zion.
4 The earth and all its inhabitants will quake, but I have firmly set its pillars." Selah	4 In that place, he has broken the powers of the bows, the shield, the sword, and the battle.
5 So I say to the boastful: "Do not boast!" to the wicked: "Do not raise your horns!	5 You illuminate wondrously from the mountains of eternity.
6 Do not raise your horns against heaven! Do not speak arrogantly against the Rock!"	6 All the foolish of heart have been disturbed. They have slept their sleep, and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.
7 For judgment comes not from east or from west, not from the desert or from the mountains,	7 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, those who were mounted on horseback have fallen asleep.
8 But from God who decides, who brings some low and raises others high.	8 You are terrible, and so, who can withstand you? From thence is your wrath.
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 You have caused judgment to be heard from heaven. The earth trembled and was quieted,
10 But I will rejoice forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob,	10 when God rose up in judgment in order to bring salvation to all the meek of the earth.
11 Who has said: "I will break off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the just shall be lifted up."	11 For the thinking of man will confess to you, and the legacy of his thinking will keep a feast day to you.
	12 Make vows and pay them to the Lord, your God. All you who surround him bring gifts: to him who is terrible,
	13 even to him who takes away the spirit of leaders, to him who is terrible with the kings of the earth.
