Psalm 75

Thanksgiving for God’s Wondrous Deeds

To the leader: Do Not Destroy. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

1 We give thanks to you, O God;
    we give thanks; your name is near.
People tell of your wondrous deeds.

2 At the set time that I appoint
    I will judge with equity.
3 When the earth totters, with all its inhabitants,
    it is I who keep its pillars steady.Selah
4 I say to the boastful, “Do not boast,”
    and to the wicked, “Do not lift up your horn;
5 do not lift up your horn on high,
    or speak with insolent neck.”

6 For not from the east or from the west
    and not from the wilderness comes lifting up;
7 but it is God who executes judgment,
    putting down one and lifting up another.
8 For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup
    with foaming wine, well mixed;
he will pour a draught from it,
    and all the wicked of the earth
    shall drain it down to the dregs.
9 But I will rejoice forever;
    I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 All the horns of the wicked I will cut off,
    but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
