Psalms 75 The prophet praises God and promises to enforce justice

 Psalms 75

The prophet praises God and promises to enforce justice

1 To you, O God, we give glory, to you we give thanks, for your name is near; your wondrous works declare.

2 When I occupy the place appointed, I will judge righteously.

3 The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved, but I have strengthened its pillars.

4 I said to the foolish, “Do not be foolish”; and to the wicked, “Do not lift up your horns.”

5 Do not lift up your horns haughtily, nor speak with stiff necks.

6 For neither from the east nor from the west, nor from the desert, does exaltation come.

7 But God is the judge; he puts down one and exalts another.

8 For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup whose wine boils, full of mixture, and he pours out from it; surely all the wicked of the earth will swallow and drink their dung.

9 But as for me, I will declare forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 And I will break all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous will be exalted.
