God’s Righteous Judgment 1(74:1) For the end, Destroy not, a Psalm of a Song for Asaph. We will give thanks to thee, O God, we will give thanks, and call upon thy name: I will declare all thy wonderful works. 2(74:2) When I shall take a set time, I will judge righteously. 3(74:3) The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it: I have strengthened its pillars. Pause. 4(74:4) I said unto the transgressors, Do not transgress; and to the sinners, Lift not up the horn. 5(74:5) Lift not up your horn on high; speak not unrighteousness against God. 6(74:6) For good comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert mountains. 7(74:7) For God is the judge; he puts down one, and raises up another. 8(74:8) For there is a cup in the hand of the Lord, full of unmingled wine; and he has turned it from side to side, but its dregs have not been wholly poured out; all the sinners of the earth shall drink them. 9(74:9) But I will exult for ever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. 10(74:10) And I will break all the horns of sinners; but the horns of the righteous one shall be exalted.
