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.

Psalms 75
75
God the Judge
For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A song of Asaph.
1God, we thank you.
We thank you because you are near.
We tell about the wonderful things you do.
2You say, “I set the time for trial.
I will judge fairly.
3The earth with all its people may shake.
I am the one who holds it steady. Selah
4I say to those who are proud, ‘Don’t brag.’
I say to the wicked, ‘Don’t show your power.
5Don’t try to use your power against heaven.
Don’t be stubborn.’”
6No one from the east or the west
or the desert can judge you.
7God is the judge.
He judges one person as guilty, and another as innocent.
8The Lord holds a cup of anger in his hand.
It is full of wine mixed with spices.
He pours it out even to the last drop.
And the wicked drink it all.
9I will tell about this forever.
I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.
10He will take all power away from the wicked.
But the power of good people will grow.
