Psalm 75
New International Version

### 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 theLordis 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)
