Psalm 75

Psalm 75 – God the Judge

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

1We praise you, God, we praise you:

we would call on your name and declare your wonders.

2“At the time I choose,

I will judge fairly.

3Though earth melt and all her inhabitants,

it is I who keep steady her pillars.” Selah

4I say to the boasters, “Boast not”;

to the wicked, “Lift not up your horn:

5lift not your horn on high,

speak not boldly against the Rock.”

6For not from east nor west,

not from desert nor mountains;

7but God himself is the judge,

humbling one and exalting another.

8In the hand of the Lord is a cup

foaming wine, richly spiced.

Out of this he pours a draught,

and all the wicked of earth

must drain it down to the dregs.

9But I will rejoice forever,

singing praise to the God of Jacob.

10I will hew all the horns of the wicked,

but the horns of the just shall be lifted.
