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
Nós te damos graças, ó Deus. Damos graças, pois o teu Nome está perto. Os homens falam das tuas obras maravilhosas.
- 2
Quando eu escolher o tempo determinado, julgarei com retidão.
- 3
A terra e todos os seus habitantes estremecem. Eu seguro firmemente as suas colunas. Selá.
- 4
Eu disse aos arrogantes: “Não se gloriem!” Eu disse aos ímpios: “Não levantem o chifre.
- 5
Não levantem o seu chifre para o alto. Não falem com dura cerviz.”
- 6
Pois nem do oriente, nem do ocidente, nem mesmo do sul, vem a exaltação.
- 7
Mas Deus é o juiz. Ele abate a um, e exalta a outro.
- 8
Pois na mão do SENHOR há um cálice, cheio de vinho espumante misturado com especiarias. Ele o derrama. De fato, os ímpios da terra o bebem, e o bebem até as suas borras.
- 9
Mas eu declararei isso para sempre: Cantarei louvores ao Deus de Jacó.
- 10
Cortarei todos os chifres dos ímpios, mas os chifres dos justos serão exaltados.
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.
