Psalm 75

For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm of Asaph. A song.

¹ We give thanks to you, O God,
we give thanks, for your Name is near;
men tell of your wonderful deeds.

² You say, “I choose the appointed time;
it is I who judge uprightly.

³ When the earth and all its people quake,
it is I who hold its pillars firm.
Selah

⁴ To the arrogant I say, ‘Boast no more,’
and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horns.

⁵ Do not lift your horns against heaven;
do not speak with outstretched neck.’ ”

⁶ No one from the east or the west
or from the desert can exalt a man.

⁷ But it is God who judges:
He brings one down, he exalts another.

⁸ In the hand of the LORD is a cup
full of foaming wine mixed with spices;
he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth
drink it down to its very dregs.

⁹ As for me, I will declare this forever;
I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.

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

Psalm 76

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song.

¹ In Judah God is known;
his name is great in Israel.

² His tent is in Salem,
his dwelling place in Zion.

³ There he broke the flashing arrows,
the shields and the swords, the weapons of war.
Selah

⁴ You are resplendent with light,
more majestic than mountains rich with game.

⁵ Valiant men lie plundered,
they sleep their last sleep;
not one of the warriors
can lift his hands.

⁶ At your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
both horse and chariot lie still.

⁷ You alone are to be feared.
Who can stand before you when you are angry?

⁸ From heaven you pronounced judgment,
and the land feared and was quiet-

⁹ when you, O God, rose up to judge,
to save all the afflicted of the land.
Selah

¹⁰ Surely your wrath against men brings you praise,
and the survivors of your wrath are restrained. ^[a]

¹¹ Make vows to the LORD your God and fulfill them;
let all the neighboring lands
bring gifts to the One to be feared.

¹² He breaks the spirit of rulers;
he is feared by the kings of the earth.
