Psalms 75

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

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

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

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

5Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.

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 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 <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 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,

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.

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.

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

12(not in this translation)

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