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
Asaph wrote this song for the music leader. He should use special music.
God judges people fairly
1God, we thank you!
Yes, we thank you!
You are very near to us.
People everywhere say what great things you have done.
2God says, ‘I choose the time when I will judge people,
and I will be a fair judge.
3When the earth shakes and the people in it are afraid,
I will keep its foundations strong.’
Selah.
4I say to people who are proud,
‘Do not be proud.’
I say to wicked people,
‘Do not boast about your power.
5Do not boast against God.
Do not speak with such proud words.’
6Who has the power to judge people?
Nobody from the east, or from the west,
or from the desert can be judge.
7God is the one who judges people.
He decides who to bring down
and who to lift up. #75:7 God says that one person is wrong (he brings them down) and another person is right (he lifts them up).
8The Lord holds a cup of punishment in his hand. #75:8 A cup with strong wine in it is a picture of God's anger and punishment.
It is full of wine, with spices in it.
The Lord pours out his anger from this cup.
All the wicked people in the world will have to drink it.
They will drink all of it, so that none remains.
9But as for me, I will always thank you, God.
I will sing to praise you,
the God of Jacob.
10You say, ‘I will destroy the power of wicked people.
I will give strength to my righteous people.’
