Psalms 75

1Unto the end, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians.

1 To you, O God, we give praise, to you we give praise: and those who give honour to your name make clear your works of power.

1Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.

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.

2In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel.

2When the right time has come, I will be the judge in righteousness.

2When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

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

3And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:

3When the earth and all its people become feeble, I am the support of its pillars. (Selah.)

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

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

4There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battle.

4I say to the men of pride, Let your pride be gone: and to the sinners, Let not your horn be lifted up.

4I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: 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.'

5Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.

5Let not your horn be lifted up: let no more words of pride come from your outstretched necks.

5Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

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

6All the foolish of heart were troubled. They have slept their sleep; and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.

6For honour does not come from the east, or from the west, or uplifting from the south;

6For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

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

7At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.

7But God is the judge, putting down one, and lifting up another.

7But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

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

8Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.

8For in the hand of the Lord is a cup, and the wine is red; it is well mixed, overflowing from his hand: he will make all the sinners of the earth take of it, even to the last drop.

8For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

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,

9Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,

9But I will ever be full of joy, making songs of praise to the God of Jacob.

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

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

10When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.

10By him will all the horns of the sinners be cut off; but the horns of the upright will be lifted up.

10All the horns of the wicked also 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!

11For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.
