Psalm 75
New King James Version Par ▾ 

Thanksgiving for God’s Righteous Judgment

To the Chief Musician. Set to “Do[a] 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 [b]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, ‘Do not [c]lift up the horn.
5Do not lift up your horn on high;
Do not speak with [d]a stiff neck.’ ”

6For exaltation comes neither from the east
Nor from the west nor from the south.
7But God is the Judge:
He puts down one,
And exalts another.
8For in 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 the [e]horns of the wicked I will also cut off,
But the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.”
