Psalms 75:1-10

God, we thank you; we thank you because you are near. We tell about the miracles you do. You say, “I set the time for trial, and I will judge fairly. The earth with all its people may shake, but I am the one who holds it steady.Selah I say to those who are proud, ‘Don’t brag,’ and to the wicked, ‘Don’t show your power. Don’t try to use your power against heaven. Don’t be stubborn.’ ” No one from the east or the west or the desert can judge you. God is the judge; he judges one person as guilty and another as innocent. The LORD holds a cup of anger in his hand; it is full of wine mixed with spices. He pours it out even to the last drop, and the wicked drink it all. I will tell about this forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob. He will take all power away from the wicked, but the power of good people will grow.
