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.

75
(For the one directing. Set to Do Not Destroy. Mizmor Asaph. Shir)
1Hodinu l'cha Elohim (Unto thee, Elohim, do we give thanks). Hodinu; that Thy Shem is near Thy wondrous works declare.
2 I shall seize the mo'ed (appointed time),#75:2 Hab 2:3 I will judge uprightly.
3 Eretz and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolving; I, even I, hold up the ammudim (pillars) of it. Selah
4 I said unto the hollelim (arrogant), Deal not boastfully; and to the resha'im, Lift not up the keren;
5 Lift not up your keren on high; speak not with a stiff neck.
6 For promotion cometh lo (not) from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert.
7 But Elohim is the Shofet; He bringeth down one, and setteth up another.
8 For in the yad Hashem there is a kos, and the yayin is foaming; full of mixture; and He poureth out of the same; but the dregs thereof, all rishei aretz (wicked of the earth) shall drain them down, and drink them.#75:8 Lk 22:42
9 But I will proclaim l'olam; I will sing zemirot to Elohei Ya'akov.
10 All the karnayim of the resha'im also will I cut off; but the karnayim of the tzaddik shall be exalted.#75:10 T.N. In this Psalm we see that G-d is Judge. The Bible speaks of a great Assize where there will be a verdict regarding the sheep and the goats, the redeemed and the reprobate. See Rv 19:1 and 20:4-5.
