Psalm

Thanksgiving for God’s Righteous Judgment

To the Chief Musician. Set to “Do[a] Not Destroy.” A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

75 
We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks!

For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.

“When I choose the [b]proper time,

I will judge uprightly.

The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved;

I set up its pillars firmly. Selah

“I said to the boastful, ‘Do not deal boastfully,’

And to the wicked, ‘Do not [c]lift up the horn.

Do not lift up your horn on high;

Do not speak with [d]a stiff neck.’ ”

For exaltation comes neither from the east

Nor from the west nor from the south.

But God is the Judge:

He puts down one,

And exalts another.

For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup,

And the wine is red;

It is fully mixed, and He pours it out;

Surely its dregs shall all the wicked of the earth

Drain and drink down.

But I will declare forever,

I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 “All the [e]horns of the wicked I will also cut off,

But the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.”
