Psalm 75, side by side

¹For the choirmaster: To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm of Asaph. A song. We give thanks to You, O God; we give thanks, for Your Name is near. The people declare Your wondrous works.

¹Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.

²“When I choose a time, I will judge fairly.

²When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

³When the earth and all its dwellers quake, it is I who bear up its pillars. Selah

³The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.

⁴I say to the proud, ‘Do not boast,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn.

⁴I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

⁵Do not lift up your horn against heaven or speak with an outstretched neck.’”

⁵Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

⁶For exaltation comes neither from east nor west, nor out of the desert,

⁶For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

⁷but it is God who judges; He brings down one and exalts another.

⁷But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

⁸For a cup is in the hand of the LORD, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours from His cup, and all the wicked of the earth drink it down to the dregs.

⁸For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

⁹But I will proclaim Him forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.

⁹But I will declare for ever; 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 will be exalted.”

¹⁰All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
