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
To the chief Musician. ‘Destroy not.’ A Psalm of Asaph: a Song.
1Unto thee we give thanks, O God#GodHebrew: Elohim we give thanks; and thy name is near: thy marvellous works declare it. 2When I shall receive the assembly, I will judge with equity. 3The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have established its pillars. Selah. 4I said unto the boastful, Boast not; and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn: 5Lift not up your horn on high; speak not arrogantly with a stiff neck.
6For not from the east nor from the west, nor yet from the south doth exaltation come: 7For God#GodHebrew: Elohim is the judge; he putteth down one and exalteth another. 8For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and it foameth with wine, it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same; yea, the dregs thereof shall all the wicked of the earth drain off, and drink. 9But as for me, I will declare for ever; I will sing psalms to the God#GodHebrew: Elohim of Jacob. 10And all the horns of the wicked will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
