升降黜陟权操神

75 亚萨的诗歌,交于伶长。调用休要毁坏。

神啊,我们称谢你,我们称谢你!因为你的名相近,人都述说你奇妙的作为。
“我到了所定的日期,必按正直施行审判。
地和其上的居民都消化了,我曾立了地的柱子。(细拉)
我对狂傲人说:‘不要行事狂傲!’对凶恶人说:‘不要举角,
不要把你们的角高举,不要挺着颈项说话!’”
因为高举非从东,非从西,也非从南而来;
唯有神断定,他使这人降卑,使那人升高。
耶和华手里有杯,其中的酒起沫,杯内满了掺杂的酒。他倒出来,地上的恶人必都喝这酒的渣滓,而且喝尽。
但我要宣扬,直到永远,我要歌颂雅各的神。
10 “恶人一切的角,我要砍断;唯有义人的角,必被高举。”

To the director: To the tune “Don’t Destroy.” One of Asaph’s songs of praise.

75 We praise you, God!
    We praise you because you[a] are near to us.
    We tell about the amazing things you have done.

God says, “I have chosen a time for judgment,
    and I will judge fairly.
The earth and all its people may shake,
    but I am the one who keeps it steady. Selah

“To those who are proud I say, ‘Stop your boasting.’
    I warn the wicked, ‘Don’t brag about how strong you are.
Don’t be so sure that you will win.
    Don’t boast that victory is yours!’”

There is no power on earth
    that can make a person important.[b]
God is the judge.
    He decides who will be important.
    He lifts one person up and brings another down.
The Lord has a cup in his hand.
    It is filled with the poisoned wine of his anger.
He will pour out this wine,
    and the wicked will drink it to the last drop.
I will always tell people how great God is.
    I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.
10 God says, “I will take away any power the wicked have
    and give it to those who are good.”

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 75:1 you Literally, “your name.”
  2. Psalm 75:6 Literally, “Not from the east or the west and not from the desert mountains.”

75 Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.

When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.

I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

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.

But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

Thanksgiving for God’s Righteous Judgment

To the Chief Musician. Set to (A)“Do[a] Not Destroy.” A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

75 We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks!
For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.

“When I choose the [b]proper time,
I will judge uprightly.
The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved;
I set up its pillars firmly. Selah

“I said to the boastful, ‘Do not deal boastfully,’
And to the wicked, (B)‘Do not [c]lift up the horn.
Do not lift up your horn on high;
Do not speak with [d]a stiff neck.’ ”

For exaltation comes neither from the east
Nor from the west nor from the south.
But (C)God is the Judge:
(D)He puts down one,
And exalts another.
For (E)in the hand of the Lord there is a cup,
And the wine is red;
It is fully mixed, and He pours it out;
Surely its dregs shall all the wicked of the earth
Drain and drink down.

But I will declare forever,
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 “All(F) the [e]horns of the wicked I will also cut off,
But (G)the horns of the righteous shall be (H)exalted.”
