75 1 The faithful do praise the Name of the Lord, 2 Which shall come to judge at the time appointed: 8 When the wicked shall be put to confusion, and drink of the cup of his wrath. 10 Their pride shall be abated, and the righteous shall be exalted to honor.

To him that excelleth. [a]Destroy not. A Psalm, or song committed to Asaph.

We will praise thee, O God, we will praise thee, for thy Name is near: therefore [b]they will declare thy wondrous works.

[c]When I shall take a convenient time, I will judge righteously.

The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: but I will establish the pillars [d]of it. Selah.
