← Psalms Psalms 75

God Will Judge with Equity

PSALM 75 [†] We give thanks to you, O God;

we give thanks, for your name is  n near.

We [1] recount your wondrous deeds.

2[†] “At  o the set time that I appoint

I will judge  p with equity.

3 When the earth  q totters, and all its inhabitants,

it is I who keep steady its  r pillars. Selah

4[†] I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’

and to the wicked,  s ‘Do not lift up your horn;

5 do not lift up your horn on high,

or speak with haughty neck.’”

6[†] For not from the east or from the west

and not from the wilderness comes  t lifting up,

7[^] but it is  u God who executes judgment,

 v putting down one and lifting up another.

8[^]  w For in the hand of the LORD there is  x a cup

with foaming wine,  y well mixed,

and he pours out from it,

and all the wicked of the earth

shall  z drain it down to the dregs.

9[†] But I will declare it forever;

I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10  a All the horns of the wicked I will cut off,

 b but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

To the choirmaster: with  c stringed instruments. A Psalm of  d Asaph. A Song.
