Psalms 75

1 Unto thee we give thanks, OGod, we give thanks; and thy name is near: thy marvellous works declare it.

1To the Overseer. --`Destroy not.' --A Psalm of Asaph. --A Song. We have given thanks to Thee, O God, We have given thanks, and near <FI>is<Fi> Thy name, They have recounted Thy wonders.

2 When I shall receive the assembly, I will judge with equity.

2When I receive an appointment, I--I do judge uprightly.

3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have established its pillars. Selah.

3Melted is the earth and all its inhabitants, I--I have pondered its pillars. Selah.

4 I said unto the boastful, Boast not; and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

4I have said to the boastful, `Be not boastful,' And to the wicked, `Raise not up a horn.'

5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not arrogantly with a [stiff] neck.

5Raise not up on high your horn, (Ye speak with a stiff neck.)

6 For not from the east nor from the west, nor yet from the south doth exaltation [come]:

6For not from the east, or from the west, Nor from the wilderness--<FI> is<Fi> elevation.

7 ForGod is the judge; he putteth down one and exalteth another.

7But God <FI>is<Fi> judge, This He maketh low--and this He lifteth up.

8 For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and it foameth with wine, it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same; yea, the dregs thereof shall all the wicked of the earth drain off, [and] drink.

8For a cup <FI>is<Fi> in the hand of Jehovah, And the wine hath foamed, It is full of mixture, and He poureth out of it, Only its dregs wring out, and drink, Do all the wicked of the earth,

9 But as for me, I will declare for ever; I will sing psalms to theGod of Jacob.

9And I--I declare <FI>it<Fi> to the age, I sing praise to the God of Jacob.

10 And all the horns of the wicked will I cut off; [but] the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

10And all horns of the wicked I cut off, Exalted are the horns of the righteous!
