Thanksgiving for God’s Righteous Judgment

To the Chief Musician. Set to “Do Not Destroy.”^[a] A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

75 We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks!For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.

² “When I choose the proper time,I will judge uprightly.³ The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved;I set up its pillars firmly. Selah

⁴ “I said to the boastful, ‘Do not deal boastfully,’And to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn.⁵ Do not lift up your horn on high;Do not speak with a stiff neck.’”

⁶ For exaltation comes neither from the eastNor from the west nor from the south.⁷ But God is the Judge:He puts down one,And exalts another.⁸ For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup,And the wine is red;It is fully mixed, and He pours it out;Surely its dregs shall all the wicked of the earthDrain and drink down.

⁹ But I will declare forever,I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

¹⁰ “All the horns of the wicked I will also cut off,But the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.”
