Psalms [Praises] 75:1-10

¹We yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you, God. We yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise·, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works.

²When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly.

³The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. Selah ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

⁴I said to the arrogant, “Don’t boast!” I said to the wicked, “Don’t lift up the horn.

⁵Don’t lift up your horn on high. Don’t speak with a stiff neck.”

⁶For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.

⁷But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts up another.

⁸For in Adonai ’s hand there is a cup, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours it out. Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.

⁹But I will declare this forever: I will sing zahmar ·musical praise· to the God of Jacob Supplanter.

¹⁰I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the upright shall be lifted up.
