Psalms 75:1-10
-
God judges with fairness
-
The wicked to drink Jehovah’s cup (8)
-
To the director. Set to the melody “Do Not Bring to Ruin.” Of Aʹsaph.+ A song.
75 We give thanks to you, O God, we give thanks to you;Your name is near,+And people declare your wondrous works.
2 You say: “When I set a time,I judge with fairness.
3 When the earth and all its inhabitants were dissolved,It was I who kept its pillars firm.” (Selah)
4 I say to the boastful, “Do not boast,”
And to the wicked, “Do not exalt your strength.*
5 Do not exalt your strength* up highOr speak with arrogance.
6 For exaltation does not comeFrom the east or the west or the south.
7 For God is Judge.+
He puts one man down and exalts another.+
8 For there is a cup in Jehovah’s hand;+The wine is foaming and is fully mixed.
He will surely pour it out,And all the wicked of the earth will drink it, down to the dregs.”+
9 But as for me, I will proclaim it forever;I will sing praises* to the God of Jacob.
10 For he says: “I will cut off all the strength* of the wicked,But the strength* of the righteous will be exalted.”
