Psalms 75

PSALM 75
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician, Al-taschith,
A Psalm or Song of Asaph.
1To thee, O God, do we give thanks,
we do give thanks to thee;
Because thy wondrous works declare
thy great name near to be.
2I purpose, when I shall receive
the congregation,
That I shall judgment uprightly
render to ev'ry one.
3Dissolved is the land, with all
that in the same do dwell;
But I the pillars thereof do
Bear up, and stablish well.
4I to the foolish people said,
Do not deal foolishly;
And unto those that wicked are,
Lift not your horn on high.
5Lift not your horn on high, nor speak
6with stubborn neck. But know,
That not from east, nor west, nor south,
promotion doth flow.
7But God is judge; he puts down one,
and sets another up.
8For in the hand of God most high
of red wine is a cup:
'Tis full of mixture, he pours forth,
and makes the wicked all
Wring out the bitter dregs thereof; yea,
and they drink them shall.
9But I for ever will declare,
I Jacob's God will praise.
10All horns of lewd men I'll cut off;
but just men's horns will raise.

Psalm 75
75
Psalm 75
For the director of music. A psalm of Asaph. A song to the tune of “Do Not Destroy.”
1God, we praise you.
We praise you because you are near to us.
People talk about the wonderful things you have done.
2You say, “I choose the appointed time to judge people.
And I judge them fairly.
3When the earth and all its people tremble,
I keep everything from falling to pieces.
4To the proud I say, ‘Don’t brag anymore.’
To sinners I say, ‘Don’t show off your power.
5Don’t show it off against me.
Don’t talk back to me.’ ”
6No one from east or west or north or south
can judge themselves.
7God is the one who judges.
He says to one person, “You are guilty.”
To another he says, “You are not guilty.”
8In the hand of the Lord is a cup.
It is full of wine mixed with spices.
It is the wine of his anger.
He pours it out. All the evil people on earth
drink it down to the very last drop.
9I will speak about this forever.
I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.
10God says, “I will destroy the power of all sinful people.
But I will make godly people more powerful.”
