Psalm 75

1 The faithful do praiſe the Name of the Lord. 2 Which ſhal come to iudge at the time appointed, 8 When the wicked ſhalbe put to confuſion, and drinke of the cup of his wrath. 10 Their pride ſhalbe abated, & the righteous ſhalbe exalted to honour.
¶ To him that excelleth. Deſtroye not. A Pſalme or ſong committed to Aſáph.
1.WE wil praiſe thee, ô God, we wil praiſe thee, for thy Name is nere: therefore they wil declare thy wonderous woikes.
2.When I ſhal take a conuenient time, I wil iudge righteouſly.
3.The earth and all the inhabitans thereof are diſſolued: but I wil eſtabliſh the pillers thereof. Sélah.
4.I ſaid vnto the fooliſh, Be not ſo fooliſh, and to the wicked, Lift not vp the horne.
5.Lift not vp your horne on high, nether ſpeake with a ſtiffe necke.
6.For to come to preferment is nether from the Eaſt, nor from the Weſt, nor from the South,
7.But God is the iudge: he maketh low and he maketh hie.
8.For in the hand of the Lord is a cup, and the wine is red: it is ful mixt, and he powreth out of the ſame: ſurely all the wicked of the earth ſhal wring out & drinke the dregs thereof.
9.But I wil declare for euer, and ſing praiſes vnto the God of Iaakob.
10.All the hornes of the wicked alſo wil I breake: but the hornes of the righteous ſhal be exalted.
