LXXV GOD ABASES THE PROUD, BUT EXALTE THE RIGHTEOUS
For the Chief Musician; set to Al-Tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song.
[1] WE give thanks unto thee, O God;
We give thanks, for〖Or, for that thy name is near Thy wondrous works declare.〗 thy name is near:
Men tell of thy wondrous works.
[2] When I shall find〖Heb. take.〗 the set time, I will judge uprightly.
[3] The〖Or, When the earth . . . I set up.〗 earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved:
I have set〖Heb. proportioned.〗 up the pillars of it. [Selah
[4] I said unto the arrogant,〖Or, fools.〗 Deal not arrogantly;
And to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
[5] Lift not up your horn on high;
Speak not with〖Or, insolently with a haughty neck.〗 a stiff neck.
[6] For neither from the east, nor from the west,
Nor yet from〖Or, from the wilderness of mountains cometh judgment.〗 the south,〖Heb. wilderness.〗 cometh lifting up.
[7] But God is the judge:
He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.
[8] For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and the wine foameth;〖Or, is red.〗
It is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same:
Surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.
[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 lifted up.
