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!

For the music director. A psalm of Asaph. According to “Do Not Destroy.” A song.
1We thank you, God, we thank you because you are close beside us.#75:1. “Close beside us,” literally, “your name is near.” People tell about the wonderful things you have done.
2God says, “When the time I have decided comes, I will judge fairly.
3When the earth quakes, and all its inhabitants tremble, I am the one who holds it steady.#75:3. Literally, “hold firm its pillars.” Selah.
4To those who boast I say, ‘Don't boast!’ I tell the wicked, ‘Don't be proud!’#75:4 “Don't be proud”: literally, “Don't lift up the horn.”
5No, don't be proud and arrogant, insulting heaven.”#75:5. The Hebrew expressions need to be recast. Literally, the text says “You must not lift up on high your horn; you must not speak with an arrogant neck.”
6For no one, from the east to the west, or from the wilderness, should think so highly of themselves.
7God is the one who decides—who he will bring down and who he will lift up.
8For the Lord has a cup in his hand, full of bubbling wine mixed with spices. He pours it out,#75:8 In judgment. and all the wicked drink it deeply, down to the last drop.
9But I will speak about you forever. I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10For God says, “I will break the power of the wicked; but I will give my support to those who do what is good.”
