Psalm 75 | New International Reader’s Version

For the director of music. A psalm of Asaph. A song to the tune of ‘Do Not Destroy.’

1 God, we praise you. We praise you because you are near to us. People talk about the wonderful things you have done. 2 You say, ‘I choose the appointed time to judge people. And I judge them fairly. 3 When the earth and all its people tremble, I keep everything from falling to pieces. 4 To the proud I say, “Don’t boast anymore.” To sinners I say, “Don’t show off your power. 5 Don’t show it off against me. Don’t talk back to me.” ’ 6 No one from east or west or north or south can judge themselves. 7 God is the one who judges. He says to one person, ‘You are guilty.’ To another he says, ‘You are not guilty.’ 8 In the hand of the LORD is a cup. It is full of wine mixed with spices. It is the wine of his anger. He pours it out. All the evil people on earth drink it down to the very last drop. 9 I will speak about this for ever. I will sing praise to the God of Jacob. 10 God says, ‘I will destroy the power of all sinful people. But I will make godly people more powerful.’

God Will Judge with Equity

1 To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song. We give thanks to you, O God; we give thanks, for your name is near. We* recount your wondrous deeds. 2 “At the set time that I appoint I will judge with equity. 3 When the earth totters, and all its inhabitants, it is I who keep steady its pillars. 4 I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn; 5 do not lift up your horn on high, or speak with haughty neck.’” 6 For not from the east or from the west and not from the wilderness comes lifting up, 7 but it is God who executes judgment, putting down one and lifting up another. 8 For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup with foaming wine, well mixed, and he pours out from it, and all the wicked of the earth shall drain it down to the dregs. 9 But I will declare it forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. 10 All the horns of the wicked I will cut off, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
