Chapter 75

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

^{1 2}We praise You, O God; we praise You; Your presence is near; men tell of Your wondrous deeds. ³“At the time I choose, I will give judgment equitably. ⁴Earth and all its inhabitants dissolve; it is I who keep its pillars firm. Selah. ⁵To wanton men I say, ‘Do not be wanton!‘ to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horns!‘‐” ⁶Do not lift your horns up high ^a‐ Lit. “with arrogant neck you speak.” in vainglorious bluster. ^‐a Lit. “with arrogant neck you speak.” ⁷For what lifts a man comes not from the east or the west or the wilderness; ^b Reading midbâr with many mss. ⁸for God it is who gives judgment; He brings down one man, He lifts up another. ⁹There is a cup in the LORD's hand with foaming wine fully mixed; from this He pours; all the wicked of the earth drink, draining it to the very dregs. ¹⁰As for me, I will declare forever, I will sing a hymn to the God of Jacob. ¹¹“All the horns of the wicked I will cut; but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.”
