Psalm 75

By Asaph

We give our thanks to you, O God, we give our thanks.
Your name is near when men recount your wondrous deeds.

“At the time I choose, I will judge with equity.
When the earth will quake and all its inhabitants
Shake with fear, it is I who holds its pillars firm.
To the arrogant I say, ‘Leave off your boasting’
And to the wicked I say, ‘Do not vaunt your pride,
Flaunt it to the heavens, or speak so defiantly.’”

For neither from the east nor from the west,
Nor from the desert lands comes exaltation.
For it is God alone who is the judge;
He puts down one and raises up another.
For Jehovah holds in his hand a cup,
Full of foaming wine, well mixed with spices.
Out of it does he pour and they shall drink,
All the wicked of the earth, down to the dregs.

As for me, I will proclaim this forever,
And sing my praises to the God of Jacob,
“I will break the power of the wicked
And strengthen the power of the righteous.”
