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!

To the director: To the tune “Don’t Destroy.” One of Asaph’s songs of praise.
1We praise you, God!
We praise you because you#75:1 you Literally, “your name.” are near to us.
We tell about the amazing things you have done.
2God says, “I have chosen a time for judgment,
and I will judge fairly.
3The earth and all its people may shake,
but I am the one who keeps it steady. Selah
4“To those who are proud I say, ‘Stop your boasting.’
I warn the wicked, ‘Don’t brag about how strong you are.
5Don’t be so sure that you will win.
Don’t boast that victory is yours!’”
6There is no power on earth
that can make a person important.#75:6 Literally, “Not from the east or the west and not from the desert mountains.”
7God is the judge.
He decides who will be important.
He lifts one person up and brings another down.
8The Lord has a cup in his hand.
It is filled with the poisoned wine of his anger.
He will pour out this wine,
and the wicked will drink it to the last drop.
9I will always tell people how great God is.
I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.
10God says, “I will take away any power the wicked have
and give it to those who are good.”
