Psalm 75
For the choir director; al tashcheth; a psalm by Asaph; a song.
1We give thanks to you, O God; we give thanks.
You are present, and your miracles confirm that.
2When I choose the right time,
I will judge fairly.
3When the earth and everyone who lives on it begin to melt,
I will make its foundations as solid as rock. Selah
4I said to those who brag, “Don’t brag,”
and to wicked people,
“Don’t raise your weapons.
5Don’t raise your weapons so proudly
or speak so defiantly.”
6The ⌞authority⌟ to reward someone does not ⌞come⌟
from the east,
from the west,
or ⌞even⌟ from the wilderness.
7God alone is the judge.
He punishes one person and rewards another.
8A cup is in the Lord’s hand.
(Its foaming wine is thoroughly mixed with spices.)
He will empty it,
⌞and⌟ all the wicked people on earth
will have to drink every last drop.
9But I will speak ⌞about your miracles⌟ forever.
I will make music to praise the God of Jacob.
10I will destroy all the weapons of wicked people,
but the weapons of righteous people will be raised proudly.

Psalms 75
75
Thanksgiving for God’s Righteous Judgment
To the Chief Musician. Set to #Ps. 57:title“Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.
1We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks!
For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.
2“When I choose the proper time,
I will judge uprightly.
3The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved;
I set up its pillars firmly.
Selah
4“I said to the boastful, ‘Do not deal boastfully,’
And to the wicked, #(1 Sam. 2:3); Ps. 94:4‘Do not lift up the horn.
5Do not lift up your horn on high;
Do not speak with a stiff neck.’ ”
6For exaltation comes neither from the east
Nor from the west nor from the south.
7But #Ps. 50:6God is the Judge:
#1 Sam. 2:7; Ps. 147:6; Dan. 2:21He puts down one,
And exalts another.
8For #Job 21:20; Ps. 60:3; Jer. 25:15; Rev. 14:10; 16:19in the hand of the Lord there is a cup,
And the wine is red;
It is fully mixed, and He pours it out;
Surely its dregs shall all the wicked of the earth
Drain and drink down.
9But I will declare forever,
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10“All#Ps. 101:8; Jer. 48:25 the horns of the wicked I will also cut off,
But #Ps. 89:17; 148:14the horns of the righteous shall be #1 Sam. 2:1exalted.”
