Psalm 75
God Abases the Wicked
and Exalts the Righteous |
To the chief Musician,
Altas'chith, A Psalm or Song of
Asaph. |
|
1 |
Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks,
|
unto thee do we give thanks: |
for that thy name is near thy wondrous works
declare.
|
|
|
2 |
When I shall receive the congregation
|
3 |
The earth and all the inhabitants thereof
are dissolved:
|
I bear up the pillars of it.
Selah. |
|
|
4 |
I said unto the fools, Deal not
foolishly:
|
and to the wicked, Lift not up the
horn: |
|
|
5 |
lift not up your horn on high:
|
speak not with a stiff neck.
|
|
|
6 |
For promotion cometh neither from
the east,
|
nor from the west, nor from the
south. |
|
|
7 |
But God is the judge:
|
he putteth down one, and setteth up
another. |
|
|
8 |
For in the hand of the LORD
|
there is a cup, and the wine is red; |
it is full of mixture; |
and he poureth out of the same: |
but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth
shall wring them out, and drink them.
|
|
|
9 |
But I will declare for ever;
|
I will sing praises to the God of
Jacob. |
|
|
10 |
All the horns of the wicked also will I
cut off;
|
but the horns of the righteous shall be
exalted. |
