Psalms 75

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

4I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

5Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.

5Lift not up your horn on high: speak not 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 promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

10All the horns of the wicked also 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.
