Psalms 75

We give thanks to you, God, we give thanks. Your name is near; your wondrous works declare it. When I choose the set time, I'll judge uprightly. The earth and everyone living on it melt away — I'm the one holding up its pillars. Selah. I said to the boastful: Don't boast. And to the wicked: Don't lift up the horn.

God is the judge

We give thanks to you, God, we give thanks. Your name is near; your wondrous works declare it. When I choose the set time, I'll judge uprightly. The earth and everyone living on it melt away — I'm the one holding up its pillars. Selah. I said to the boastful: Don't boast. And to the wicked: Don't lift up the horn. Don't lift your horn on high or speak with a stiff neck. Promotion doesn't come from the east, the west, or the south. But God is the judge. He brings one down and lifts another up. Because there's a cup in the LORD's hand, and the wine is red, full of mixture. And he pours out of it. But the dregs of it — all the wicked of the earth will wring them out and drink them. But I'll declare it forever; I'll sing praises to the God of Jacob. And I'll cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.

We thank you, God, we thank you. Your name is near, and your wonders tell it out. When I choose the set time, I'll judge straight. The earth and everyone living on it melt away — I'm the one holding up its pillars. I said to the big-noters: Don't big-note yourselves. And to the wicked: Don't lift up the horn. Don't lift your horn up high. Don't talk with a stiff neck. Because lifting up doesn't come from the east or the west or from the south. But God is the judge. He brings one down and lifts another up. Because there's a cup in the Lord's hand, and the wine is red, full of mixture. And he pours out of it. But the dregs of it — all the wicked of the earth will wring them out and drink them. But I'll tell it out forever. I'll sing praise to the God of Jacob. And I'll cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.

Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare. When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly. The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah. I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn: Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck. For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. For 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. But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
