Псалом 75

God is judge: he lowers and lifts

¹For the music director. To the tune “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm of Asaph. A song. ²We thank You, God, we thank You; Your name is close to us, \q and people speak of the marvels You have done. ³“When the time I have fixed has come, \q I will judge with fairness.^{a 4}The earth and everyone on it may sway and melt, \q but I have set its pillars firm. Selah ⁵I tell the proud, ‘Stop your boasting,’ \q and the wicked, ‘Do not toss your horn high.’ ⁶Do not raise your horn against the heights, \q or talk with a stiff and insolent neck.” ⁷For it is not from the east or the west, \q nor from the desert, that a person is raised up,^{b 8}but God is the judge: \q He lays one person low and lifts another up. ⁹For the LORD holds a cup in His hand, and the wine in it foams, richly spiced; He pours from it, \q and every wicked person on earth will have to drain it, dregs and all. ¹⁰But I will never stop telling of it; \q I will make music to the God of Jacob. ¹¹I will hack off every horn the wicked raise, \q but those who do right will have their horns lifted high.
