Psalm 75

Thanksgiving for God’s Wondrous Deeds

To the leader: Do Not Destroy. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.
¹We give thanks to you, O God;
   we give thanks; your name is near.
People tell of your wondrous deeds.

²At the set time that I appoint
   I will judge with equity.
³When the earth totters, with all its inhabitants,
   it is I who keep its pillars steady.
          Selah
⁴I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast’,
   and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn;
⁵do not lift up your horn on high,
   or speak with insolent neck.’

⁶For not from the east or from the west
   and not from the wilderness comes lifting up;
⁷but it is God who executes judgement,
   putting down one and lifting up another.
⁸For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup
   with foaming wine, well mixed;
he will pour a draught from it,
   and all the wicked of the earth
   shall drain it down to the dregs.
⁹But I will rejoice^* for ever;
   I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

¹⁰All the horns of the wicked I will cut off,
   but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
