Psalms 75
1We praise you, God,we praise you, for your Name is near;people tell of your wonderful deeds. 2You say, “I choose the appointed time;it is I who judge with equity. 3When the earth and all its people quake,it is I who hold its pillars firm. 4To the arrogant I say, ‘Boast no more,’and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horns. 5Do not lift your horns against heaven;do not speak so defiantly.’ ” 6No one from the east or the westor from the desert can exalt themselves. 7It is God who judges:He brings one down, he exalts another. 8In the hand of the Lord is a cupfull of foaming wine mixed with spices;he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earthdrink it down to its very dregs. 9As for me, I will declare this forever;I will sing praise to the God of Jacob, 10who says, “I will cut off the horns of all the wicked,but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.”
