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!

Thanksgiving for God’s Future Help
For the music director, according to Do Not Destroy.
A psalm of Asaph. A song.#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm; the English verse number is reduced by one
1We give thanks to you, O God;
we give thanks, and your name is near.
Your wonderful deeds are told.#Hebrew “They tell your wonderful deeds”
2“I will indeed set an appointed time;
I will judge fairly.#Hebrew “I, I will judge” might be emphatic
3The earth and all its inhabitants are shaking;#Or “melting away”
I steady#Hebrew “I, I steady” might be emphatic its columns. Selah
4I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast!’
and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn!
5Do not lift up high your#Plural horn.
Do not speak with arrogant pride.’ ”#Hebrew “an unrestrained neck”
6For it is not from the east or the west
and not from the south#Hebrew “wilderness” that lifting up comes,
7rather God is the judge;
one he brings low, and another he lifts up.
8For there is a cup in the hand of Yahweh
with#Hebrew “and” wine that foams, fully mixed,
and he pours out from this.
Surely all the wicked of the land
will quaff it down to its dregs. #Literally “they will drain, they will drink its dregs”
9But as for me, I will proclaim forever;
I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.
10“And all the horns of the wicked I will cut off.
The horns of the righteous will be lifted up.”
