Psalm 75:2-7

God Will Judge with Equity

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.
