Psalms 75
Thanksgiving for God’s Future Help
For the music director, according to Do Not Destroy.
A psalm of Asaph. A song. ▼▼The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm; the English verse number is reduced by one
1We give thanks to you, O God;
we give thanks, and your name is near.
Your wonderful deeds are told. ▼
▼Hebrew “They tell your wonderful deeds”
2“I will indeed set an appointed time;
I will judge fairly. ▼
▼Hebrew “I, I will judge” might be emphatic
3The earth and all its inhabitants are shaking; ▼
▼Or “melting away”
I steady ▼
▼Hebrew “I, I steady” might be emphatic
its columns. Selah 4I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast!’
and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn!
5Do not lift up high your ▼
▼Plural
horn.Do not speak with ⌞arrogant pride⌟.’ ” ▼
▼Hebrew “an unrestrained neck”
6For it is not from the east or the west
and not from the south ▼
▼Hebrew “wilderness”
that lifting up comes, 7rather God is the judge;
one he brings low, and another he lifts up.
8For there is a cup in the hand of Yahweh
with ▼
▼Hebrew “and”
wine that foams, fully mixed,and he pours out from this.
Surely all the wicked of the land
⌞will quaff it down to its dregs⌟. ▼
▼Literally “they will drain, they will drink its dregs”
9But as for me, I will proclaim forever;
I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.
10“And all the horns of the wicked I will cut off.
The horns of the righteous will be lifted up.”
