Psalms 75
75
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.”
