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.

1For the leader. Set to “Do Not Destroy!” A psalm of Asaf. A song:
2We give thanks to you, God, we give thanks;
your name is near, people tell of your wonders.
3“At the time of my own choice,
I will dispense justice fairly.
4When the earth quakes, with all living on it,
it is I who hold its support-pillars firm.” (Selah)
5To the boastful I say, “Do not boast!”
and to the wicked, “Don’t flaunt your strength!
6Don’t flaunt your strength so proudly;
don’t speak arrogantly, with your nose in the air!
7For you will not be raised to power
by those in the east, the west or the desert;
8since God is the judge; and it is he
who puts down one and lifts up another.
9In Adonai’s hand there is a cup of wine,
foaming, richly spiced;
when he pours it out, all the wicked of the earth
will drain it, drinking it to the dregs.”
10But I will always speak out,
singing praises to the God of Ya‘akov.
11I will break down the strength of the wicked,
but the strength of the righteous will be raised up.
