Psalm 75

We give you thanks, O God,

because your name is near.

All speak of your majestic deeds;

your voice we also hear:

“I choose the appointed time;

I judge with justice sure.

When earth and all its people quake,

its pillars I secure.

“ ‘Boast not!’ I tell the proud;

the wicked I address:

‘Do not lift up your heads with pride,

or speak with haughtiness’.”

No one in all the earth

can truly give renown.

God is the judge; he raises one

and puts another down.

The LORD’s hand holds a cup

with wine of powerful blend;

He pours it out, and wicked ones

must drink it to the end.

God’s works I will proclaim,

and Jacob’s God I’ll praise.

The wicked’s strength I will destroy;

the righteous I will raise.
