Psalms 75

1We give thanks unto thee, O God; We give thanks, for thy name is near: Men tell of thy wondrous works.

1We give thanks to you, O God; we give thanks, for your name is near; people talk about your wonderful deeds.

2When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly.

2God says, 'At the time I have decided, I will judge with fairness.'

3The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have set up the pillars of it. [Selah

3When the earth and all its people tremble, it is I who keep its foundations steady.

4I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly; And to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

4I warned the proud, 'Stop being so arrogant,' and I told the wicked, 'Do not be so confident in your power.'

5Lift not up your horn on high; Speak not with a stiff neck.

5Do not flaunt your power so defiantly; do not speak with such stubborn pride.

6For neither from the east, nor from the west, Nor yet from the south, cometh lifting up.

6For true promotion and honor do not come from the east, or the west, or the desert in the south.

7But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.

7It is God who is the Judge; he brings one person down and lifts another person up.

8For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and the wine foameth; It is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same: Surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.

8The LORD holds a cup in his hand, filled with foaming wine and strong spices; he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth must drink it down to the very last drop.

9But I will declare for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

9As for me, I will tell of these things forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; But the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

10He says, 'I will break the power of all the wicked, but the power of the godly will be increased.'
