Psalms 75
A short psalm built around a single voice: God himself speaks. Thanksgiving opens it (v. 1), then God announces he sets the appointed time and judges with equity, holding the very pillars of a quaking earth (vv. 2-3). Watch the recurring image of the "horn" — the symbol of proud strength. The warning not to lift it up high (vv. 4-5) is answered at the end: the wicked's horns are cut off, the righteous lifted (v. 10).
- 1
We give thanks to you, God. We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works.
- 2
When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly.
- 3
The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. Selah.
- 4
I said to the arrogant, “Don’t boast!” I said to the wicked, “Don’t lift up the horn.
- 5
Don’t lift up your horn on high. Don’t speak with a stiff neck.”
- 6
For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.
- 7
But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts up another.
- 8
For in the LORD’s hand there is a cup, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours it out. Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.
- 9
But I will declare this forever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
- 10
I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
- 1
Al Músico principal: sobre No destruyas: Salmo de Asaph: Cántico. ALABARÉMOSTE, oh Dios, alabaremos; que cercano está tu nombre: cuenten tus maravillas.
- 2
Cuando yo tuviere tiempo, yo juzgaré rectamente.
- 3
Arruinábase la tierra y sus moradores: yo sostengo sus columnas. (Selah.)
- 4
Dije á los insensatos: No os infatuéis; y á los impíos: No levantéis el cuerno:
- 5
No levantéis en alto vuestro cuerno; no habléis con cerviz erguida.
- 6
Porque ni de oriente, ni de occidente, ni del desierto viene el ensalzamiento.
- 7
Mas Dios es el juez: á éste abate, y á aquél ensalza.
- 8
Porque el cáliz está en la mano de Jehová, y el vino es tinto, lleno de mistura; y él derrama del mismo: ciertamente sus heces chuparán y beberán todos los impíos de la tierra.
- 9
Mas yo anunciaré siempre, cantaré alabanzas al Dios de Jacob.
- 10
Y quebraré todos los cuernos de los pecadores: los cuernos del justo serán ensalzados.
Exaltation comes from no direction but God
Verse 6 names every compass point except one — "neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south" — to insist that promotion does not come from the horizon but from the Judge who "puts down one, and lifts up another" (v. 7).
The cup of foaming wine (v. 8) makes judgment vivid and unavoidable: the wicked drink it to the dregs. Set beside Psalm 74's cry for God to act, here he answers in his own words.
