Psalms 75

KING JAMES BIBLECATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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 Unto the end. With Praises. A Psalm of Asaph. A Canticle to the Assyrians.
2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.2 In Judea, God is known. In Israel, his name is great.
3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.3 And his place has been formed with peace. And his dwelling place is in Zion.
4 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:4 In that place, he has broken the powers of the bows, the shield, the sword, and the battle.
5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.5 You illuminate wondrously from the mountains of eternity.
6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.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 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.7 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, those who were mounted on horseback have fallen asleep.
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 You are terrible, and so, who can withstand you? From thence is your wrath.
9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.9 You have caused judgment to be heard from heaven. The earth trembled and was quieted,
10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.10 when God rose up in judgment in order to bring salvation to all the meek of the earth.
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.
