Psalm 75
Revised Standard Version

Thanksgiving for God’s Wondrous Deeds

To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

75 We give thanks to thee, O God; we give thanks;
    we call on thy name and recount[a] thy wondrous deeds.

2 At the set time which I appoint
    I will judge with equity.
3 When the earth totters, and all its inhabitants,
    it is I who keep steady its pillars.Selah
4 I say to the boastful, “Do not boast,”
    and to the wicked, “Do not lift up your horn;
5 do not lift up your horn on high,
    or speak with insolent neck.”

6 For not from the east or from the west
    and not from the wilderness comes lifting up;
7 but it is God who executes judgment,
    putting down one and lifting up another.
8 For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup,
    with foaming wine, well mixed;
and he will pour a draught from it,
    and all the wicked of the earth
    shall drain it down to the dregs.

9 But I will rejoice[b] for ever,
    I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 All the horns of the wicked he[c] will cut off,
    but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

Psalm 75[a]

For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm of Asaph. A song.

1 We praise you, God,
    we praise you, for your Name is near;(A)
    people tell of your wonderful deeds.(B)

2 You say, “I choose the appointed time;(C)
    it is I who judge with equity.(D)
3 When the earth and all its people quake,(E)
    it is I who hold its pillars(F) firm.[b]
4 To the arrogant(G) I say, ‘Boast no more,’(H)
    and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horns.[c](I)
5 Do not lift your horns against heaven;
    do not speak so defiantly.(J)’”

6 No one from the east or the west
    or from the desert can exalt themselves.
7 It is God who judges:(K)
    He brings one down, he exalts another.(L)
8 In the hand of the Lord is a cup
    full of foaming wine mixed(M) with spices;
he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth
    drink it down to its very dregs.(N)

9 As for me, I will declare(O) this forever;
    I will sing(P) praise to the God of Jacob,(Q)
10 who says, “I will cut off the horns of all the wicked,
    but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.”(R)
