Psalm 75-76 New American Standard Bible

God Humbles the Proud, but Exalts the Righteous.

For the music director; set to ^[a]Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song.

75 We ^(A)give thanks to You, God, we give thanks,
For Your name is ^(B)near;
People declare ^(C)Your wondrous works.
²“When I select an ^(D)appointed time,
It is I who ^(E)judge fairly.
³The ^(F)earth and all who inhabit it ^[b]are unsteady;
It is I who have firmly set its ^(G)pillars. Selah
⁴I said to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’
And to the wicked, ‘^(H)Do not lift up the horn;
⁵Do not lift up your horn on high,
^(I)Do not speak with insolent ^[c]pride.’”

⁶For not from the east, nor from the west,
Nor from the ^[d]^(J)desert comes exaltation;
⁷But ^(K)God is the Judge;
He ^(L)puts down one and exalts another.
⁸For a ^(M)cup is in the hand of the Lord, and the wine foams;
It is ^[e]^(N)well mixed, and He pours out of this;
Certainly all the wicked of the earth must drain and ^(O)drink its dregs.

⁹But as for me, I will ^(P)declare it forever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
¹⁰And ^[f]He will cut off all the ^(Q)horns of the wicked,
But ^(R)the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.

The Victorious Power of the God of Jacob.

For the music director; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song.

76 God is ^(S)known in Judah;
His name is ^(T)great in Israel.
²His ^[g]^(U)tabernacle is in ^(V)Salem;
His ^(W)dwelling place also is in Zion.
³There He ^(X)broke the ^[h]flaming arrows,
The shield, the sword, and the ^[i]weapons of war. Selah

⁴You are resplendent,
^[j]More majestic than the mountains of prey.
⁵The ^(Y)stouthearted were plundered,
^[k]They sank into sleep;
And none of the ^[l]warriors could use his hands.
⁶At Your ^(Z)rebuke, God of Jacob,
Both ^[m]^(AA)rider and horse were cast into a dead sleep.
⁷You, You indeed are ^(AB)to be feared,
And ^(AC)who may stand in Your presence, ^[n]once You are angry?

⁸You caused judgment to be heard from heaven;
The earth ^(AD)feared and was still
⁹When God ^(AE)arose to judgment,
To save all the humble of the earth. Selah
¹⁰For the ^[o]^(AF)wrath of mankind shall praise You;
You will encircle Yourself with a remnant of wrath.

¹¹^(AG)Make vows to the Lord your God and ^(AH)fulfill them;
All who are around Him are to ^(AI)bring gifts to Him who is to be feared.
¹²He will cut off the spirit of princes;
He is ^[p]^(AJ)feared by the kings of the earth.
