Psalm 75
New American Standard Bible 2020
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 to You, God, we give thanks, For Your name is near; People declare Your wondrous works.
2“When I select an appointed time, It is I who judge fairly.
3“The earth and all who inhabit it are unsteady; It is I who have firmly set its pillars. Selah
4“I said to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’ And to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn;
5Do not lift up your horn on high, Do not speak with insolent pride.’ ”
6¶For not from the east, nor from the west, Nor from the desert comes exaltation;
7But God is the Judge; He puts down one and exalts another.
8For a cup is in the hand of the Lord, and the wine foams; It is well mixed, and He pours out of this; Certainly all the wicked of the earth must drain and drink its dregs.
9¶But as for me, I will declare it forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10And He will cut off all the horns of the wicked, But the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.
