Reflections on The Psalms |
 |
Psalm 75
(NIV) For the director of music.
To the tune of "Do Not Destroy."
A psalm of Asaph.
A song.
We give thanks to you, O God, we give thanks,
for your Name is near; men tell of your wonderful deeds.
{2} You say, "I choose the appointed time;
it is I who judge uprightly.
{3} When the earth and all its people quake,
it is I who hold its pillars firm. Selah
{4} To the arrogant I say, 'Boast no more,'
and to the wicked, 'Do not lift up your horns.
{5} Do not lift your horns against heaven;
do not speak with outstretched neck.'"
{6} No one from the east or the west
or from the desert can exalt a man.
{7} But it is God who judges:
He brings one down, he exalts another.
{8} In the hand of the LORD is a cup
full of foaming wine mixed with spices;
he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth
drink it down to its very dregs.
{9} As for me, I will declare this forever;
I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.
{10} I will cut off the horns
of
all the wicked,
but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.
