Psalm 75
Literal Standard 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.

1TO THE OVERSEER. “DO NOT DESTROY.” A PSALM OF ASAPH. A SONG. We have given thanks to You, O God, || We have given thanks, and Your Name [is] near, || They have recounted Your wonders.
2When I receive an appointment, I judge uprightly.
3The earth and all its inhabitants are melted, || I have pondered its pillars. Selah.
4I have said to the boastful, “Do not be boastful,” || And to the wicked, “Do not raise up a horn.”
5Do not raise up your horn on high || (You speak with a stiff neck).
6For not from the east, or from the west, || Nor from the wilderness—[is] elevation.
7But God [is] judging, || This He makes low—and this He lifts up.
8For a cup [is] in the hand of YHWH, || And the wine has foamed, || It is full of mixture, and He pours out of it, || Surely wring out its dregs, || And all the wicked of the earth drink,
9And I declare [it] for all time, || I sing praise to the God of Jacob.
10And I cut off all horns of the wicked, || The horns of the righteous are exalted!
