Humble worshipers rejoice beside a steady pillar while proud rulers face a dark cup of judgment

Psalm 75

American Standard Version (1901)
Chapter overview
Psalm 75 gives thanks because judgment belongs to God at the appointed time. When the earth shakes, its pillars remain steady; arrogant power is warned, the cup of judgment passes, and the proud are lowered while the righteous rise.

1We give thanks unto thee, O God; We give thanks, for thy name is near: Men tell of thy wondrous works.
2When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly.
3The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have set up the pillars of it. [Selah
4I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly; And to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
5Lift not up your horn on high; Speak not with a stiff neck.
6For neither from the east, nor from the west, Nor yet from the south, cometh lifting up.
7But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.
8For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and the wine foameth; It is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same: Surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.
9But I will declare for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; But the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
