Psalm 75 :: Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

God Judges the Wicked

For the choir director: “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm of Asaph. A song.

Psa 75:1

We give thanks to you, God;

we give thanks to you, for your name is near.

People tell about your wondrous works.

Psa 75:2

“When I choose a time,

I will judge fairly.

Psa 75:3

“When the earth and all its inhabitants shake,

I am the one who steadies its pillars.Selah

Psa 75:4

“I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’

and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn.

Psa 75:5

“Do not lift up your horn against heaven[fn]

or speak arrogantly.’ ”

Psa 75:6

Exaltation does not come

from the east, the west, or the desert,

Psa 75:7

for God is the Judge:

He brings down one and exalts another.

Psa 75:8

For there is a cup in the LORD’s hand,

full of wine blended with spices, and he pours from it.

All the wicked of the earth will drink,

draining it to the dregs.

Psa 75:9

As for me, I will tell about him forever;

I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.

Psa 75:10

“I will cut off all the horns of the wicked,

but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.”
