PSALM 75

1For the lead player, al-tashcheth, an Asaph psalm, a song.

    2We acclaim You, O God, we acclaim You,

          and Your name is near.

                They recount Your wonders.

    3“When I seize the appointed time,

          I Myself shall judge rightly.

    4Earth and its dwellers would melt,

          had I not set fast its pillars.

selah

    5I said to the revelers, Do not revel,

          and to the wicked, Lift not your horn.

    6Lift not your horn on high.

          You would speak arrogance against the Rock.

    7For not from the east and not from the west

          and not from the desert is one lifted up.

    8But God is the judge,

          it is He Who brings down and lifts up.

    9For there is a cup in the hand of the LORD,

          with foaming wine full for decanting.

    He will pour from it,

          yes, its dregs they will drain,

                all the earth’s wicked will drink.”

    10As for me, I shall tell it forever,

          let me hymn to the God of Jacob.

    11“And all the horns of the wicked I shall hack off.

          The horns of the just will be lifted!”
