Psalms 75
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.

Psalms 75
75
Psalm 75
For the music leader. Do not destroy. A psalm of Asaph. A song.
1We give thanks to you, God. Yes, we give thanks!
Your name is near. Your marvelous deeds are declared.
2God says,#75.2 Heb lacks God says. “When I decide the time is right,
I will establish justice just so.
3The earth and all its inhabitants will melt,
but I will keep its pillars steady.” Selah
4I said to the arrogant,
“Don’t be arrogant!”
To the wicked I said,
“Don’t exalt your strength!
5Don’t exalt your strength so highly.
Don’t speak so arrogantly against the rock.”#75.5 LXX against God; MT speak with an arrogant neck
6Because what exalts someone
doesn’t come from the east or west;
it’s not from the south either.
7Rather it is God who is the judge.
He brings this person down,
but that person he lifts up.
8Indeed, there’s a cup in the LORD’s hand
full of foaming wine, mixed with spice.
He will pour it out,
and all of the earth’s wicked people
must drink it;
they must drink every last drop!
9But I will rejoice#75.9 LXX; MT I will declare always;
I will sing praises to Jacob’s God!
10God says:#75.10 Heb lacks God says.
“I will demolish every bit of the wicked’s power,
but the strength of the righteous will be lifted up.”
