Psalms — Chapter 75

For the leader; al tashḥeth.A psalm of Asaph, a song.

We praise You, O God;we praise You;Your presence is near;people tell of Your wondrous deeds.

“At the time I choose,I will give judgment equitably.

Earth and all its inhabitants dissolve;it is I who keep its pillars firm.    Selah.

To the wanton I say, ‘Do not be wanton!’to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horns!’”

Do not lift your horns up highin vainglorious bluster.ain vainglorious bluster Lit. “with arrogant neck you speak.”

For exaltation comes not from the eastor from the west or the wilderness;bwilderness Reading midbār (with qamaṣ, not pataḥ), as in many mss.

for God it is who gives judgment—bringing down one and lifting up another.

There is a cup in GOD’s handwith foaming wine fully mixed;from this [God] pours;all the wicked of the earth drink,draining it to the very dregs.

As for me, I will declare forever,I will sing a hymn to the God of Jacob.

“All the horns of the wicked I will cut;but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.”
