God’s Righteous Judgment

(Romans 2:1–16)

75 

75 For the choirmaster: [To the tune of] “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm of Asaph. A song. We give thanks to You, O God; we give thanks, for Your Name is near. The people declare Your wondrous works.

2 “When I choose a time, I will judge fairly.

3 When the earth and all its dwellers quake, it is I who bear up its pillars. Selah

4 I say to the proud, ‘Do not boast,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn.

5 Do not lift up your horn against heaven or speak with an outstretched neck.’ ”

6 For exaltation comes neither from east nor west, nor out of the desert,

7 but it is God who judges; He brings down one and exalts another.

8 For a cup is in the hand of the LORD, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours from [His cup], and all the wicked of the earth drink it down to the dregs.

9 But I will proclaim Him[fn] forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.

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