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

Psalm 75

Darby Translation
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.

1Unto thee we give thanks, O God, we give thanks; and thy name is near: thy marvellous works declare it.
2When I shall receive the assembly, I will judge with equity.
3The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have established its pillars. Selah.
4I said unto the boastful, Boast not; and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
5Lift not up your horn on high; speak not arrogantly with a [stiff] neck.
6For not from the east nor from the west, nor yet from the south doth exaltation [come]:
7For God is the judge; he putteth down one and exalteth another.
8For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and it foameth with wine, it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same; yea, the dregs thereof shall all the wicked of the earth drain off, [and] drink.
9But as for me, I will declare for ever; I will sing psalms to the God of Jacob.
10And all the horns of the wicked will I cut off; [but] the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
