Chapter 75

To the leader: Do Not Destroy. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song. ¹

We give thanks to you, O God; we give thanks; your name is near. People tell of your wondrous deeds.

²

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

⁶

For not from the east or from the west and not from the wilderness comes lifting up; ⁷ but it is God who executes judgment, putting down one and lifting up another. ⁸ For 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. ⁹ But I will rejoice ^b Or moon; Heb light forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

¹⁰

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