Psalm 75
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
God Judges the Wicked
For the choir director: ‘Do Not Destroy.’ A psalm of Asaph.(A) A song.
75 We give thanks to you, God;
we give thanks to you, for your name is near.(B)
People tell about your wondrous works.(C)
2 ‘When I choose a time,
I will judge fairly.(D)
3 When the earth and all its inhabitants shake,
I am the one who steadies its pillars.(E) Selah
4 I say to the boastful, “Do not boast,”
and to the wicked, “Do not lift up your horn.(F)
5 Do not lift up your horn against heaven[a]
or speak arrogantly.” ’(G)
6 Exaltation does not come
from the east, the west, or the desert,
7 for God is the Judge:
He brings down one and exalts another.(H)
8 For there is a cup in the Lord’s hand,
full of wine blended with spices, and he pours from it.
All the wicked of the earth will drink,
draining it to the dregs.(I)
9 As for me, I will tell about him for ever;
I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.(J)
10 ‘I will cut off all the horns of the wicked,(K)
but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.’(L)

For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm of Asaph. A song.
1 We praise you, God,
we praise you, for your Name is near;(A)
people tell of your wonderful deeds.(B)
2 You say, “I choose the appointed time;(C)
it is I who judge with equity.(D)
3 When the earth and all its people quake,(E)
it is I who hold its pillars(F) firm.[b]
4 To the arrogant(G) I say, ‘Boast no more,’(H)

full of foaming wine mixed(M) with spices;

Salmi 75
Nuova Riveduta 2006
Dio, giudice sovrano
75 (A)Al direttore del coro. «Non distruggere».
Salmo di Asaf. Canto.
Noi ti lodiamo, o Dio, ti lodiamo;
quelli che invocano il tuo nome proclamano le tue meraviglie.
2 Quando verrà il tempo che avrò fissato,
io giudicherò con giustizia.
3 Si agiti la terra con tutti i suoi abitanti,
io ne rendo stabili le colonne. [Pausa]
4 Io dico agli orgogliosi: «Non siate superbi!»
E agli empi: «Non alzate la testa[a]!
5 Non alzate la vostra testa contro il cielo,
non parlate con il collo rigido!»
6 Poiché non è dall’oriente né dall’occidente,
né dal mezzogiorno che viene la possibilità d’innalzarsi,
7 ma è Dio che giudica;
egli abbassa l’uno e innalza l’altro.
8 Il Signore ha in mano una coppa di vino spumeggiante,
pieno di mistura.
Egli ne versa;
certo tutti gli empi della terra ne dovranno sorseggiare,
ne berranno fino alla feccia.
9 Ma io racconterò sempre queste cose,
salmeggerò al Dio di Giacobbe.
10 Stroncherò la potenza degli empi,
ma la potenza[b] dei giusti sarà accresciuta.

Psalm 75
King James Version
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.
2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
4 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.
6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
8 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.
9 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.
