Psalms 75

God’s Righteous Judgment

For the choirmaster: To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm of Asaph. A song.

1“When I choose a time, I will judge fairly.

2When the earth and all its dwellers quake, it is I who bear up its pillars. Selah

3I say to the proud, ‘Do not boast,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn.

4Do not lift up your horn against heaven or speak with an outstretched neck.’”

5For exaltation comes neither from east nor west, nor out of the desert,

6but it is God who judges; He brings down one and exalts another.

7For a cup is in the hand of the LORD, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours from His cup, and all the wicked of the earth drink it down to the dregs.

8But I will proclaim Him forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.

9“All the horns of the wicked I will cut off, but the horns of the righteous will be exalted.”
