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.

God Judges the Wicked
For the choir director: “Do Not Destroy.” # Possibly a tune A psalm of Asaph. # 1Ch 16:5,7 A song.
1We give thanks to You, God;
we give thanks to You, for Your name is near.
People tell about Your wonderful works. # Dt 4:7; Ps 26:7; 145:18
2“When I choose a time,
I will judge fairly. # Ps 9:8; 96:10
3When the earth and all its inhabitants shake,
I am the One who steadies its pillars. # 1Sm 2:8; Ps 46:6; Is 24:19Selah

5Do not lift up your horn against heaven
or speak arrogantly.’ ” # 1Sm 2:3; Ps 94:4
6Exaltation does not come
from the east, the west, or the desert,
7for God is the Judge:
He brings down one and exalts another. # 1Sm 2:7-8; Ps 50:6; Lk 1:52-53
8For there is a cup in the Lord’s hand,
full of wine blended with spices, and He pours from it.
All the wicked of the earth will drink,
draining it to the dregs. # Is 51:17,22; Jr 25:15-17

I will sing praise to the God of Jacob. # Ps 9:2; 18:49; 81:1

but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.” # Ps 89:17; 92:10; 148:14
