Psalm 75
To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, A Psalm or Song of Asaph.

8,6,8,6

^1To thee, O God, do we give thanks,

we do give thanks to thee;

Because thy wondrous works declare

thy great name near to be.

^2I purpose, when I shall receive

the congregation,

That I shall judgment uprightly

render to ev'ry one.

^3Dissolved is the land, with all

that in the same do dwell;

But I the pillars thereof do

bear up, and stablish well.

^4I to the foolish people said,

Do not deal foolishly;

And unto those that wicked are,

Lift not your horn on high.

^5Lift not your horn on high, nor speak

^6with stubborn neck. But know,

That not from east, nor west, nor south,

promotion doth flow.

^7But God is judge; he puts down one,

and sets another up.

^8For in the hand of God most high

of red wine is a cup:

'Tis full of mixture, he pours forth,

and makes the wicked all

Wring out the bitter dregs thereof;

yea, and they drink them shall.

^9But I for ever will declare,

I Jacob's God will praise.

^10All horns of lewd men I'll cut off;

but just men's horns will raise.
