Psalms 75 YLT
Summary: Attributed to Asaph, Psalm 75 mixes communal thanksgiving with a direct oracle from God, who announces, "I will judge with equity" and it is he, not east, west, or south, who "lifts up" and "puts down" (v. 2, 6-7). Its central image is a cup in God's hand, "foaming wine, well mixed," that the wicked of the earth will be made to drain "to the dregs" (v. 8), a picture of inescapable judgment. It closes with the psalmist vowing to "cut off all the horns of the wicked" while "the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up" (v. 10), horn imagery symbolizing strength and dignity.
1To the Overseer. --`Destroy not.' --A Psalm of Asaph. --A Song. We have given thanks to Thee, O God, We have given thanks, and near is Thy name, They have recounted Thy wonders.
2When I receive an appointment, I--I do judge uprightly.
3Melted is the earth and all its inhabitants, I--I have pondered its pillars. Selah.
4I have said to the boastful, `Be not boastful,' And to the wicked, `Raise not up a horn.'
5Raise not up on high your horn, (Ye speak with a stiff neck.)
6For not from the east, or from the west, Nor from the wilderness-- is elevation.
7But God is judge, This He maketh low--and this He lifteth up.
8For a cup is in the hand of Jehovah, And the wine hath foamed, It is full of mixture, and He poureth out of it, Only its dregs wring out, and drink, Do all the wicked of the earth,
9And I--I declare it to the age, I sing praise to the God of Jacob.
10And all horns of the wicked I cut off, Exalted are the horns of the righteous!
