Chapter 75 - God as judge

1 Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.

2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it.

Selah.

4 I said unto the fools, 

Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

8 For in the hand (of the LORD) there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked (of the earth) shall wring them out, and drink them.[1]

9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God (of Jacob).

10 All the horns (of the wicked) also will I cut off; but the horns (of the righteous) shall be exalted.
