1 PSALM 75 God Abases the Proud, but Exalts the Righteous. To the Chief Musician; set to [the tune of] “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm of Asaph. A Song. We give thanksandpraise to You, O God, we give thanks,For Your [wonderful works declare that Your]See note Deut 12:5.name is near;People declare Your wonders.
2 “When I select an appointed time,I will judge with equity,” [says the L].
3 “The earth and all the inhabitants of it melt [in tumultuous times].It is I who will steady its pillars. Selah.
4 I said to the arrogant, ‘Do not boast;’And to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn [of self-glorification].
5 Do not lift up your [defiant and aggressive] horn on high,Do not speak with a stiff neck.’ ”
6 For not from the east, nor from the west,Nor from the desert comes exaltation.
7 But God is the Judge;He puts down one and lifts up another.
8 For a cup [of His wrath] is in the hand of the L, and the wine foams;It is well mixedandfully spiced, and He pours out from it;And all the wicked of the earth must drain it and drink down to its dregs.
9 But as for me, I will declare itandrejoice forever;I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 All the horns of the wicked He will cut off,But the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.
