Thanksgiving for God’s Righteous Judgment
To the Chief Musician. Set to “Do75:0 Heb. Al Tashcheth Not Destroy.” A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.
1We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks!
For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.
2“When I choose the 75:2 appointedproper time,
I will judge uprightly.
3The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved;
I set up its pillars firmly. Selah
4“I said to the boastful, ‘Do not deal boastfully,’
And to the wicked, ‘Do not 75:4 Raise the head proudly like a horned animallift up the horn.
5Do not lift up your horn on high;
Do not speak with 75:5 Insolent pridea stiff neck.’ ”
6For exaltation comes neither from the east
Nor from the west nor from the south.
7But God is the Judge:
He puts down one,
And exalts another.
8For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup,
And the wine is red;
It is fully mixed, and He pours it out;
Surely its dregs shall all the wicked of the earth
Drain and drink down.
9But I will declare forever,
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10“All the 75:10 Strengthhorns of the wicked I will also cut off,
But the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.”
