Psalms 75 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

God Abases the Proud, but Exalts the Righteous.

For the choir director; set to Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song.

1. We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks, For Your name is near; Men declare Your wondrous works.

2. "When I select an appointed time, It is I who judge with equity.

3. "The earth and all who dwell in it melt; It is I who have firmly set its pillars. Selah.

4. "I said to the boastful, 'Do not boast,' And to the wicked, 'Do not lift up the horn;

5. Do not lift up your horn on high, Do not speak with insolent pride.'"

6. For not from the east, nor from the west, Nor from the desert comes exaltation;

7. But God is the Judge; He puts down one and exalts another.

8. For a cup is in the hand of the Lord, and the wine foams; It is well mixed, and He pours out of this; Surely all the wicked of the earth must drain and drink down its dregs.

9. But as for me, I will declare it forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10. And all the horns of the wicked He will cut off, But the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.
