Psalms 75
God’s Righteous Judgment (Romans 2:1–16)
For the choirmaster: To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm of Asaph. A song.
1 We give thanks to You, O God;
we give thanks, for Your Name is near.
1 The people declare Your wondrous works.
2 “When I choose a time,
I will judge fairly.
3 When the earth and all its dwellers quake,
it is I who bear up its pillars.
3 Selah
4 I say to the proud, ‘Do not boast,’
and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn.
5 Do not lift up your horn against heaven
or speak with an outstretched neck.’ ”
6 For exaltation comes neither from east nor west,
nor out of the desert,
7 but it is God who judges;
He brings down one and exalts another.
8 For a cup is in the hand of the LORD,
full of foaming wine mixed with spices.
8 He pours from His cup,
and all the wicked of the earth
8 drink it down to the dregs.
9 But I will proclaim Him forever;
I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.
10 “All the horns of the wicked I will cut off,
but the horns of the righteous will be exalted.”
