Psalm 75

¹We give thanks to you, God. Yes, we give thanks!

Your name is near. Your marvelous deeds are declared.

²God says, “When I decide the time is right,[#75.2 Heb lacks .]

I will establish justice just so.

³The earth and all its inhabitants will melt,

but I will keep its pillars steady.” Selah

⁴I said to the arrogant,

“Don’t be arrogant!”

To the wicked I said,

“Don’t exalt your strength!

⁶Because what exalts someone

doesn’t come from the east or west;

it’s not from the south either.

⁷Rather it is God who is the judge.

He brings this person down,

⁸Indeed, there’s a cup in the LORD ’s hand

full of foaming wine, mixed with spice.

He will pour it out,

and all of the earth’s wicked people

must drink it;

they must drink every last drop!

⁹But I will rejoice always;[#75.9 LXX; MT I will declare]

I will sing praises to Jacob’s God!

¹⁰God says:[#75.10 Heb lacks .]

“I will demolish every bit of the wicked’s power,

but the strength of the righteous will be lifted up.”
