Psalm 75

We give thanks to You, O God,
we give thanks,
for Your Name is near;
men tell of Your wonderful deeds.

You say, "I choose the appointed time;
it is I who judge uprightly.
When the earth and all its people quake,
it is I who hold its pillars firm.
Selah.
To the arrogant I say,
'Boast no more,'
and to the wicked,
'Do not life up your horns.
Do not lift your horns against heaven;
do not speak with outstretched neck.'"

No one from the east or the west
or from the desert can exalt a man.
But it is God who judges:
He brings one down,
He exalts another.
In the hand of the Lord is a cup
full of foaming wine mixed with spices;
He pours it out,
and all the wicked of the earth
drink it down to its very dregs.

As for me, I will declare this forever;
I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.
I will cut off the horns of all the wicked,
but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.

(Psalm 75)
