Psalms 75:2-10 ▼

2 When I receive an appointment, I judge uprightly.

3 The earth and all its inhabitants are melted, || I have pondered its pillars. Selah.

4 I have said to the boastful, “Do not be boastful,” || And to the wicked, “Do not raise up a horn.”

5 Do not raise up your horn on high || (You speak with a stiff neck).

6 For not from the east, or from the west, || Nor from the wilderness—[is] elevation.

7 But God [is] judging, || This He makes low—and this He lifts up.

8 For a cup [is] in the hand of YHWH, || And the wine has foamed, || It is full of mixture, and He pours out of it, || Surely wring out its dregs, || And all the wicked of the earth drink,

9 And I declare [it] for all time, || I sing praise to the God of Jacob.

10 And I cut off all horns of the wicked, || The horns of the righteous are exalted!
