Psalm 75
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. We thank you, O God!
|
|
|
|
We give thanks because you are near.
|
|
|
|
People everywhere tell of your wonderful deeds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. God says, "At the time I have planned,
|
|
|
|
I will bring justice against the wicked.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. When the earth quakes and its people live in turmoil,
|
|
|
|
I am the one who keeps its foundations firm. Interlude
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. "I warned the proud, 'Stop your boasting!'
|
|
|
|
I told the wicked, 'Don't raise your fists!
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Don't raise your fists in defiance at the heavens
|
|
|
|
or speak with such arrogance.'"
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. For no one on earth--from east or west,
|
|
|
|
or even from the wilderness--
|
|
should raise a defiant fist.
|
|
|
|
7. It is God alone who judges;
|
|
|
|
he decides who will rise and who will fall.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. For the LORD holds a cup in his hand
|
|
|
|
that is full of foaming wine mixed with spices.
|
|
|
|
He pours out the wine in judgment,
|
|
|
|
and all the wicked must drink it,
|
|
|
|
draining it to the dregs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. But as for me, I will always proclaim what God has done;
|
|
|
|
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. For God says, "I will break the strength of the wicked,
|
|
|
|
but I will increase the power of the godly."
