Psalm 75 (NASB1995)

PSALM 75

God Abases the Proud, but Exalts the Righteous.

For the choir director; set to Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song.

1We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks,

For Your name is near;

Men declare Your wondrous works.

2“When I select an appointed time,

It is I who judge with equity.

3The earth and all who dwell in it Or tottermelt;

It is I who have firmly set its pillars. Selah.

4I said to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’

And to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn;

5Do not lift up your horn on high,

Do not speak with insolent pride.’ ”

6For not from the east, nor from the west,

Nor from the desert comes exaltation;

7But God is the Judge;

He puts down one and exalts another.

8For a cup is in the hand of the Lord, and the wine foams;

It is well mixed, and He pours out of this;

Surely all the wicked of the earth must drain and drink down its dregs.

9But as for me, I will declare it forever;

I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10And all the horns of the wicked He will cut off,

But the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.
