Psalms 75

1 To the victor, al-tashcheth1; a psalm of◦ Asaph, a song.
We confess Thee, O God; we confess, and Thy name is near;They recount◦ Thy wonders.
2 When◦ I shall take the appointed·​·time,With uprightness I◦ will judge.
3 The earth and all who dwell in her are dissolved,I▵ fix·​·precisely her pillars. Selah.
4 I said to those who praise·​·themselves, Praise· not ·yourselves;And to the wicked, Exalt not the horn,
5 Exalt not your horn on high.Speak not with a stiff2 neck.
6 For it is not from the coming·​·out of the sun nor◦ from the sunset,Nor from the wilderness of the mountains3.
7 For God is judge;This·​·one He brings·​·low, and that·​·one▵ He exalts.
8 For a cup is in the hand of Jehovah, and He churned the wine, full of what was mingled,And He makes it to flow·​·down from this;Surely they shall suck·​·out its lees4,All the wicked of the earth shall drink.
9 But I◦ will tell to eternity,I will sing·​·psalms to the God of Jacob.
10 And all the horns of the wicked will I hew·​·off;The horns of the just shall be exalted.

1“Al-tashcheth” means “destroy not.”

2literally, “hard◦”

3The Hebrew for “of the mountains” could also be read as “is there exaltation.”
