Psalms 75
The psalmist gives thanks to God for His wondrous works and declares that God will judge uprightly. The earth and its inhabitants are fragile, but God holds it up, and He warns the wicked not to exalt themselves. God is the ultimate judge, putting down the wicked and exalting the righteous, and He will punish the wicked with a cup of judgment. The psalmist vows to praise God forever and to exalt the righteous.
Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.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.But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
