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 chief Musician, Al-taschith, A Psalm or Song of Asaph.
1Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks,
Unto thee do we give thanks:
For that thy name is near
Thy wondrous works declare.
2When I shall receive the congregation
I will judge uprightly.
3The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved:
I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
4I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly:
And to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
5Lift not up your horn on high:
Speak not with a stiff neck.
6For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west,
Nor from the south.
7But God is the judge:
He putteth down one, and setteth up another.
8For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red;
It is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same:
But the dregs thereof,
All the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.
9But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off;
But the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
