Psalm 75

To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, A Psalm or Song of Asaph.

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.”

Psalm 75

For the Music Director. To the melody of “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

We give thanks to You, O God;
    we give thanks, and Your name is near;
    Your wondrous works declare it.

When I select an appointed time,
    I will judge with equity.
Though the earth and all its inhabitants are swaying,
    I steady its pillars. Selah
I said to the boastful, “Do not boast,”
    and to the wicked, “Do not lift up your horn.
Do not lift up your horn on high,
    or speak with an arrogant neck.”

For neither from the east nor west,
    nor from the wilderness comes victory.
But God is the judge;
    He brings one low, and lifts up another.
For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup,
    and it is full of mixed, foaming wine,
and He pours from it;
    surely all the wicked of the earth will find and drink its dregs.

But I will declare forever,
    I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 All the horns of the wicked I will cut off,
    but the horns of the righteous will be exalted.

Exaltación del justo y humillación del malvado

Al músico principal. Sobre «No destruyas». Salmo de Asaf. Cántico.

75 Gracias te damos, Dios mío, gracias te damos,
porque tu nombre está cerca de nosotros.
¡Todos hablan de tus hechos portentosos!

«En el momento en que yo decida,
habré de juzgar con rectitud.
Aunque la tierra y sus habitantes se estremezcan,
Yo sostengo sus columnas.
A los insensatos les digo: “No sean arrogantes”,
y a los impíos: “No sean orgullosos;
no hagan alarde de su poder;
no levanten tanto la nariz.”
El juicio no viene del este ni del oeste,
ni del desierto ni de las montañas:
El juicio proviene de mí, que soy Dios.
A unos humillo, y a otros enaltezco.
Ya el cáliz del juicio está en mi mano;
ya el vino mezclado se ha fermentado,
y yo, el Señor, estoy por derramarlo;
¡todos los impíos de la tierra lo beberán hasta el fondo!»

Yo siempre hablaré de ti,
te cantaré salmos, Dios de Jacob.
10 Tú deshaces todo el poder de los pecadores,
pero exaltas la fuerza de los hombres justos.
