Psalms 75

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

5Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.

5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not arrogantly 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

12Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,

13Even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.
