Psalm 75 - Modern English Version

For the Music Director. To the melody of “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

¹ We give thanks to You, O God; we give thanks, for Your name is near; Your wondrous works declare it.

² When I set the appointed time, I will judge with equity.

³ The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolving; I bear up its pillars.    Selah

⁴ I said to the boastful, “Do not boast,” and to the wicked, “Do not lift up your horn.

⁵ Do not lift up your horn on high; do not speak with a stiff neck.”

⁶ For exaltation comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

⁷ But God is the Judge; He puts down one and exalts another.

⁸ For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, full of foaming wine; it is well mixed, and He pours it out; indeed the wicked of the earth drain and drink its dregs.

⁹ But I will declare it forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

¹⁰ All the horns of the wicked will I cut off, but the horns of the righteous will be exalted.
