Psalms 75

God Judges the Wicked

For the choir director: “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm of Asaph. # 75:title 1Ch 16:5,7 A song.

1We give thanks to you, God;

we give thanks to you, for your name is near. # 75:1 Dt 4:7; Ps 145:18; Is 55:6; Lm 3:57

People tell about your wondrous works. # 75:1 Ps 26:7

2“When I choose a time,

I will judge fairly. # 75:2 Ps 9:8; 96:10

3When the earth and all its inhabitants shake,

I am the one who steadies its pillars. # 75:3 1Sm 2:8; Ps 46:6; Is 24:19 Selah

4I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’

and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn. # 75:4 Pr 27:1; Jr 9:23

5Do not lift up your horn against heaven # 75:5 Lit horn to the height

or speak arrogantly.’ ” # 75:5 1Sm 2:3; Ps 94:4

6Exaltation does not come

from the east, the west, or the desert,

7for God is the Judge:

He brings down one and exalts another. # 75:6–7 1Sm 2:7–8; Ps 50:6; Lk 1:52–53

8For there is a cup in the Lord’s hand,

full of wine blended with spices, and he pours from it.

All the wicked of the earth will drink,

draining it to the dregs. # 75:8 Is 51:17,22; Jr 25:15–17

9As for me, I will tell about him forever;

I will sing praise to the God of Jacob. # 75:9 Ps 9:2; 18:49; 81:1

10“I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, # 75:10 Jr 48:25

but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.” # 75:10 Ps 89:17; 92:10; 148:14
