I am the one who steadies its pillars.75:3 1Sm 2:8; Ps 46:6; Is 24:19Selah

or speak arrogantly.’”75:5 1Sm 2:3; Ps 94:4

from the east, the west, or the desert,
7for God is the Judge:
He brings down one and exalts another.75:6–7 1Sm 2:7–8; Ps 50:6; Lk 1:52–53

full of wine blended with spices, and he pours from it.
All the wicked of the earth will drink,
draining it to the dregs.75:8 Is 51:17,22; Jr 25:15–17
