Psalm 75

God Abases the Wicked and Exalts the Righteous

¹Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks,

unto thee do we give thanks:

for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.

²When I shall receive the congregation

I will judge uprightly.

³The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved:

I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.

⁴I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly:

and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

⁵lift not up your horn on high:

speak not with a stiff neck.

⁶For promotion cometh neither from the east,

nor from the west, nor from the south.

⁷But God is the judge:

he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

⁸For 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 .

⁹But I will declare for ever;

I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

¹⁰All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off;

but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
