UST by section PSA 75:1

The Book of Psalms 75

A psalm written by Asaph for the choir director, to be sung using the tune ‘Do not destroy’

75 We give thanks to you;

our God, we thank you.

You are close to us,

and we proclaim to others the wonderful things that you have done for us.

2 You have said, “I have appointed a time when I will judge people,

and I will judge everyone fairly.

3 When the earth shakes

and all the creatures on the earth tremble,

I am the one who will keep its foundations steady.

4 I say to people who boast, ‘Stop bragging!’

and I say to wicked people, ‘Do not proudly do things to show how great you are!’ ”

5 Do not be arrogant,

and do not speak so boastfully!

6 The one who judges people does not come from the east or from the west,

and he does not come from the desert.

7 God is the one who judges people;

he shames and punishes some, and he honors others.

8 It is as though Yahweh held a cup in his hand;

it is filled with wine that has spices mixed in it to cause those who drink it to become more drunk;

and when Yahweh pours it out, he will force all the wicked people to drink it;

they will drink every drop of it; yes, he will punish them fully.

9 But as for me, I will never stop saying what the God whom Jacob worshiped has done;

I will never stop singing to praise him.

10 He promises this: “I will destroy the power of wicked people,

but I will increase the power of righteous people.”
