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.

Psalms 75
75
To the director: To the tune “Don’t Destroy.” One of Asaph’s songs of praise.
1We praise you, God!
We praise you because you#75:1 you Literally, “your name.” are near to us.
We tell about the amazing things you have done.
2God says, “I have chosen a time for judgment,
and I will judge fairly.
3The earth and all its people may shake,
but I am the one who keeps it steady. Selah
4“To those who are proud I say, ‘Stop your boasting.’
I warn the wicked, ‘Don’t brag about how strong you are.
5Don’t be so sure that you will win.
Don’t boast that victory is yours!’”
6There is no power on earth
that can make a person important.#75:6 Literally, “Not from the east or the west and not from the desert mountains.”
7God is the judge.
He decides who will be important.
He lifts one person up and brings another down.
8The Lord has a cup in his hand.
It is filled with the poisoned wine of his anger.
He will pour out this wine,
and the wicked will drink it to the last drop.
9I will always tell people how great God is.
I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.
10God says, “I will take away any power the wicked have
and give it to those who are good.”
