Psalm 75 [Douay 74]

Psalm 75 in modern numbering

¹ We give thanks to you, God. We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works.

² When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly.

³ The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. Selah.

⁴ I said to the arrogant, “Don’t boast!” I said to the wicked, “Don’t lift up the horn.

⁵ Don’t lift up your horn on high. Don’t speak with a stiff neck.”

⁶ For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.

⁷ But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts up another.

⁸ For in the LORD’s hand there is a cup, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours it out. Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.

⁹ But I will declare this forever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

¹⁰ I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

¹ UUnto the end, corrupt not, a psalm of a canticle for Asaph.

² We will praise thee, O God: we will praise, and we will call upon thy name. We will relate thy wondrous works:

³ When I shall take a time, I will judge justices.

⁴ The earth is melted, and all that dwell therein: I have established the pillars thereof.

⁵ I said to the wicked: Do not act wickedly: and to the sinners: Lift not up the horn.

⁶ Lift not up your horn on high: speak not iniquity against God.

⁷ For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert hills:

⁸ For God is the judge. One he putteth down, and another he lifteth up:

⁹ For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup of strong wine full of mixture. And he hath poured it out from this to that: but the dregs thereof are not emptied: all the sinners of the earth shall drink.

¹⁰ But I will declare for ever: I will sing to the God of Jacob.

¹¹ And I will break all the horns of sinners: but the horns of the just shall be exalted.
