Psalms 75
75
A Cup in God’s Hand
To the Pure and Shining One
Asaph’s poetic song To the tune of “Do Not Destroy”
1God, our hearts spill over with praise to you!
We overflow with thanks, for your name is the “Near One.”
All we want to talk about is your wonderful works!
And we hear your reply:
2“When the time is ripe I will arise,
and I will judge the world with perfect righteousness.
3Though I have set the earth firmly on its pillars,
I will shake it until it totters, and everyone’s hearts will tremble.”
Pause in his presence
4God warns the proud, “Stop your arrogant boasting!”
And he warns the wicked,
“Don’t think for a moment you can resist me!
5Why would you speak with such stubborn pride?
Don’t you dare raise your fist against me!”
6-7This I know:
the favor that brings promotion and power
doesn’t come from anywhere on earth,
for no one exalts a person but God, the true judge of all.
He alone determines where favor rests.
He anoints one for greatness
and brings another down to his knees.
8A foaming cup filled with judgment mixed with fury
is in the hands of the Lord Yahweh,
full to the brim and ready to run over.
He filled it up for the wicked, and they will drink it
down to the very last drop!
9But I will proclaim the victory of the God of Jacob.
My melodies of praise will make him known.
10My praises will break the powers of wickedness,
while the righteous will be promoted and become powerful!

PSALM 75
God Abases the Proud, but Exalts the Righteous.
To the Chief Musician; set to [the tune of] “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.
1We give thanks and praise to You, O God, we give thanks,
For Your [wonderful works declare that Your] #See note Deut 12:5.name is near;
People declare Your wonders.
2“When I select an appointed time,
I will judge with equity,” [says the Lord].
3“The earth and all the inhabitants of it melt [in tumultuous times].
It is I who will steady its pillars. Selah.
4I said to the arrogant, ‘Do not boast;’
And to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn [of self-glorification].
5Do not lift up your [defiant and aggressive] horn on high,
Do not speak with a stiff neck.’ ”
6For not from the east, nor from the west,
Nor from the desert comes exaltation.
7But God is the Judge;
He puts down one and lifts up another.
8For a cup [of His wrath] is in the hand of the Lord, and the wine foams;
It is well mixed and fully spiced, and He pours out from it;
And all the wicked of the earth must drain it and drink down to its dregs.
9But as for me, I will declare it and rejoice forever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10All the horns of the wicked He will cut off,
But the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.
