Psalms 75

NEW JERUSALEM	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 [For the choirmaster Tune: 'Do not destroy' Psalm Of Asaph Song] We give thanks to you, God, wegive thanks to you, as we cal upon your name, as we recount your wonders.	1 For the leader. Do not destroy! A psalm of Asaph; a song.
2 'At the appointed time I myself shal dispense justice.	2 We thank you, God, we give thanks; we call upon your name, declare your wonderful deeds. You said:
3 The earth quakes and al its inhabitants; it is I who hold its pil ars firm.Pause	3 "I will choose the time; I will judge fairly.
4 'I said to the boastful, "Do not boast!" to the wicked, "Do not flaunt your strength!	4 The earth and all its inhabitants will quake, but I have firmly set its pillars." Selah
5 Do not flaunt your strength so proudly, do not talk with that arrogant stance." '	5 So I say to the boastful: "Do not boast!" to the wicked: "Do not raise your horns!
6 No longer from east to west, no longer in the mountainous desert,	6 Do not raise your horns against heaven! Do not speak arrogantly against the Rock!"
7 is God judging in uprightness, bringing some down, raising others.	7 For judgment comes not from east or from west, not from the desert or from the mountains,
8 Yahweh is holding a cup fil ed with a heady blend of wine; he wil pour it, they wil drink it to the dregs, al the wicked on earth wil drink it.	8 But from God who decides, who brings some low and raises others high.
9 But I shal speak out for ever, shal make music for 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 I shal break down al the strength of the wicked, and the strength of the upright will rise high.	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."
