Psalm 75 - 76

God Will Judge with Equity

To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

1
We give thanks to you, O God;
we give thanks, for your name is n near.
We 1 recount your wondrous deeds.

2 "At o the set time that I appoint
I will judge p with equity.
3 When the earth q totters, and all its inhabitants,
it is I who keep steady its r pillars. Selah
4 I say to the boastful, 'Do not boast,'
and to the wicked, s 'Do not lift up your horn;
5 do not lift up your horn on high,
or speak with haughty neck.'"

6 For not from the east or from the west
and not from the wilderness comes t lifting up,
7 but it is u God who executes judgment,
v putting down one and lifting up another.
8 w For in the hand of the Lord there is x a cup
with foaming wine, y well mixed,
and he pours out from it,
and all the wicked of the earth
shall z drain it down to the dregs.

9 But I will declare it forever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 a All the horns of the wicked I will cut off,
b but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

Psalms 76

Who Can Stand Before You?

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

1
In Judah God is e known;
his name is great in Israel.
2 His f abode has been established in g Salem,
his h dwelling place in Zion.
3 There he i broke the flashing arrows,
the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah

4 Glorious are you, more majestic
j than the mountains of k prey.
5 l The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil;
m they sank into sleep;
all the men of war
were unable to use their hands.
6 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
both n rider and horse lay stunned.

7 o But you, you are to be feared!
Who can p stand before you
when once your anger is roused?
8 From the heavens you uttered judgment;
q the earth feared and was still,
9 when God r arose to establish judgment,
to save all the humble of the earth. Selah

10 Surely s the wrath of man shall praise you;
the remnant 2 of wrath you will put on like a belt.
11 t Make your vows to the Lord your God and perform them;
let all around him u bring gifts
to him who v is to be feared,
12 who w cuts off the spirit of princes,
who x is to be feared by the kings of the earth.
