Psalm 75
God the Judge of the World
1 For the leader. Do not destroy! A psalm of Asaph; a song.
I
2 We thank you, God, we give thanks;
we call upon your name,
we declare your wonderful deeds.
[You said:]
3 “I will choose the time;
I will judge fairly.
4 Though the earth and all its inhabitants quake,
I make steady its pillars.”
Selah
II
5 So I say to the boastful: “Do not boast!”
to the wicked: “Do not raise your horns!
6 Do not raise your horns against heaven!
Do not speak with a stiff neck!”
7 For judgment comes not from east or from west,
not from the wilderness or the mountains,
8 But from God who decides,
who brings some low and raises others high.
9 Yes, a cup is in the Lord’s hand,
foaming wine, fully spiced.
When God pours it out,
they will drain it even to the dregs;
all the wicked of the earth will drink.
10 But I will rejoice forever;
I will sing praise to the God of Jacob,
11 [Who has said:]
“I will cut off all the horns of the wicked,
but the horns of the righteous will be exalted.”
