Psalms 75:1-7 ▼

1 For the one directing: To “Do not Destroy.” A Psalm of Asaph. A Song. We give thanks to You, O God; we give thanks—for Your name is near—recounting Your wonders.

2 “When I take the appointed place, I will judge uprightly.

3 At the dissolving of the earth and all its dwellers, I measure out its pillars. Selah

4 I said to those boasting, ‘You⁺ shall not boast,’ and to the wicked, ‘You⁺ shall not lift up the horn;

5 you⁺ shall not lift up your⁺ horn to the height, or speak with an insolent neck.’”

6 For it is not from the going forth or from the sinking, and not from the wilderness is exaltation,

7 But God is judging—this one He brings low, and this one He lifts up.
