Psalms 75
Superscription to the Psalm of Asaph
לַמְנַצֵּחַ אַל-תַּשְׁחֵת מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָף שִֽׁיר׃
To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, A Psalm or Song of Asaph.
God the judge who puts down one and lifts up another
הוֹדִינוּ לְּךָ׀ אֱֽלֹהִים הוֹדִינוּ וְקָרוֹב שְׁמֶךָ סִפְּרוּ נִפְלְאוֹתֶֽיךָ׃
Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
כִּי אֶקַּח מוֹעֵד אֲנִי מֵישָׁרִים אֶשְׁפֹּֽט׃
When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
נְֽמֹגִים אֶרֶץ וְכָל-יֹשְׁבֶיהָ אָנֹכִי תִכַּנְתִּי עַמּוּדֶיהָ סֶּֽלָה׃
The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
אָמַרְתִּי לַֽהוֹלְלִים אַל-תָּהֹלּוּ וְלָרְשָׁעִים אַל-תָּרִימוּ קָֽרֶן׃
I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
אַל-תָּרִימוּ לַמָּרוֹם קַרְנְכֶם תְּדַבְּרוּ בְצַוָּאר עָתָֽק׃
Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.
כִּי לֹא מִמּוֹצָא וּמִֽמַּעֲרָב וְלֹא מִמִּדְבַּר הָרִֽים׃
For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
כִּֽי-אֱלֹהִים שֹׁפֵט זֶה יַשְׁפִּיל וְזֶה יָרִֽים׃
But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
כִּי כוֹס בְּֽיַד-יְהוָה וְיַיִן חָמַר׀ מָלֵא מֶסֶךְ וַיַּגֵּר מִזֶּה אַךְ-שְׁמָרֶיהָ יִמְצוּ יִשְׁתּוּ כֹּל רִשְׁעֵי-אָֽרֶץ׃
For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.
וַאֲנִי אַגִּיד לְעֹלָם אֲזַמְּרָה לֵאלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹֽב׃
But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
וְכָל-קַרְנֵי רְשָׁעִים אֲגַדֵּעַ תְּרוֹמַמְנָה קַֽרְנוֹת צַדִּֽיק׃
All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
