Psalm 75-76

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

² At the set time that I appoint,
    I will judge with equity.
³ When the earth totters, with all its inhabitants,
    it is I who keep its pillars steady. Selah
⁴ I say to the boastful, “Do not boast,”
    and to the wicked, “Do not lift up your horn;^(B)
5 do not lift up your horn on high
    or speak with insolent neck.”^(C)

⁶ For not from the east or from the west
    and not from the wilderness comes lifting up,^(D)
7 but it is God who executes judgment,
    putting down one and lifting up another.^(E)
8 For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup
    with foaming wine, well mixed;
he will pour a draught from it,
    and all the wicked of the earth
    shall drain it down to the dregs.^(F)
9 But I will rejoice^[a] forever;
    I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.^(G)

¹⁰ All the horns of the wicked I will cut off,
    but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.^(H)

⁴ Glorious are you, more majestic
    than the everlasting mountains.^[b]
5 The courageous were stripped of their spoil;
    they sank into sleep;
none of the troops
    was able to lift a hand.^(L)
6 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
    both rider and horse lay stunned.

⁷ But you indeed are awesome!
    Who can stand before you
    when your anger is roused?^(M)
8 From the heavens you uttered judgment;
    the earth feared and was still^(N)
9 when God rose up to establish judgment,
    to save all the oppressed of the earth. Selah^(O)

¹⁰ Human wrath serves only to praise you,
    when you bind the last bit of your^[c] wrath around you.^(P)
11 Make vows to the Lord your God and perform them;
    let all who are around him bring gifts
    to the one who is awesome,^(Q)
12 who cuts off the spirit of princes,
    who inspires fear in the kings of the earth.^(R)
