Psalm 75

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 Yahweh’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.
