Psalm 75

For the choir director; al tashcheth; a psalm by Asaph; a song.

We give thanks to you, O Elohim; we give thanks.
    You are present, and your miracles confirm that.

When I choose the right time,
    I will judge fairly.
When the earth and everyone who lives on it begin to melt,
    I will make its foundations as solid as rock. Selah
I said to those who brag, “Don’t brag,”
    and to wicked people,
        “Don’t raise your weapons.
        Don’t raise your weapons so proudly
            or speak so defiantly.”

The authority to reward someone does not come
    from the east,
        from the west,
            or even from the wilderness.
Elohim alone is the Shophet.
    He punishes one person and rewards another.
A cup is in Yahweh’s hand.
    (Its foaming wine is thoroughly mixed with spices.)
    He will empty it,
    and all the wicked people on earth
        will have to drink every last drop.

But I will speak about your miracles forever.
    I will make music to praise the Elohim of Jacob.
10 I will destroy all the weapons of wicked people,
    but the weapons of righteous people will be raised proudly.

Psalm 76

For the choir director; on stringed instruments; a psalm by Asaph; a song.

Elohim is known in Judah.
    His name is great in Israel.
His tent is in Salem.
    His home is in Zion.
There he destroyed flaming arrows,
    shields, swords, and weapons of war. Selah

You are the radiant one.
    You are more majestic than the ancient mountains.[a]
Brave people were robbed.
    They died.
        None of the warriors were able to lift a hand.
At your stern warning, O Elohim of Jacob,
    chariot riders and horses were put to sleep.

You alone must be feared!
    Who can stand in your presence when you become angry?
From heaven you announced a verdict.
    The earth was fearful and silent
        when you rose to judge, O Elohim,
            when you rose to save every oppressed person on earth. Selah

10 Even angry mortals will praise you.
    You will wear the remainder of their anger.[b]
11 Make vows to Yahweh your Elohim, and keep them.
    Let everyone around him bring gifts to the one who must be feared.
12 He cuts short the lives of influential people.
    He terrifies the kings of the earth.
