Psalm 75

1. (0) For the leader. Set to “Do Not Destroy!” A psalm of Asaf. A song:

2. (1) We give thanks to you, God, we give thanks; 2 your name is near, people tell of your wonders.

3. (2) “At the time of my own choice, 3 I will dispense justice fairly.

4. (3) When the earth quakes, with all living on it, 4 it is I who hold its support-pillars firm.” (Selah)

5. (4) To the boastful I say, “Do not boast!” 5 and to the wicked, “Don’t flaunt your strength!

6. (5) Don’t flaunt your strength so proudly; 6 don’t speak arrogantly, with your nose in the air!

7. (6) For you will not be raised to power 7 by those in the east, the west or the desert;

8. (7) since God is the judge; and it is he 8 who puts down one and lifts up another.

9. (8) In Adonai’s hand there is a cup of wine, 9 foaming, richly spiced; 9 when he pours it out, all the wicked of the earth 9 will drain it, drinking it to the dregs.”

10. (9) But I will always speak out, 10 singing praises to the God of Ya‘akov.

11. (10) I will break down the strength of the wicked, 11 but the strength of the righteous will be raised up.
