Psalm 75
Free Bible Version
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 thank you, God, we thank you because you are close beside us. People tell about the wonderful things you have done.
2God says, “When the time I have decided comes, I will judge fairly.
3When the earth quakes, and all its inhabitants tremble, I am the one who holds it steady. Selah.
4To those who boast I say, ‘Don't boast!’ I tell the wicked, ‘Don't be proud!’
5No, don't be proud and arrogant, insulting heaven.”
6For no one, from the east to the west, or from the wilderness, should think so highly of themselves.
7God is the one who decides—who he will bring down and who he will lift up.
8For the Lord has a cup in his hand, full of bubbling wine mixed with spices. He pours it out, and all the wicked drink it deeply, down to the last drop.
9But I will speak about you forever. I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10For God says, “I will break the power of the wicked; but I will give my support to those who do what is good.”
