Psalms 75:2-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 75
2'When I select an appointed time, It is I who judge fairly. 3The earth and all who inhabit it are unsteady; It is I who have firmly set its pillars. Selah 4I said to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’ And to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn; 5Do not lift up your horn on high, Do not speak with insolent pride.’?' 6For not from the east, nor from the west, Nor from the desert comes exaltation; 7But God is the Judge; He puts down one and exalts another. 8For a cup is in the hand of the Lord, and the wine foams; It is well mixed, and He pours out of this; Certainly all the wicked of the earth must drain and drink its dregs.King James Version
Chapter 75
2When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly. 3The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah. 4I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn: 5Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.
6For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
7But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
8For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 75
2"When I choose a time, I will judge fairly.
3When the earth and all its inhabitants shake, I am the one who steadies its pillars. Selah
4I say to the boastful, 'Do not boast,' and to the wicked, 'Do not lift up your horn.
New Living Translation
4'I warned the proud, ‘Stop your boasting!’ I told the wicked, ‘Don’t raise your fists!
5Don’t raise your fists in defiance at the heavens or speak with such arrogance.’'
6For no one on earth — from east or west, or even from the wilderness — should raise a defiant fist.
7It is God alone who judges; he decides who will rise and who will fall.
8For the Lord holds a cup in his hand that is full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours out the wine in judgment, and all the wicked must drink it, draining it to the dregs.
English Standard Version
Chapter 75
2“At the set time that I appoint I will judge with equity. 3When the earth totters, and all its inhabitants, it is I who keep steady its pillars. Selah 4I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn; 5do not lift up your horn on high, or speak with haughty neck.’” 6For not from the east or from the west and not from the wilderness comes lifting up, 7but it is God who executes judgment, putting down one and lifting up another. 8For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup with foaming wine, well mixed, and he pours out from it, and all the wicked of the earth shall drain it down to the dregs.New International Version
Chapter 75
2You say, 'I choose the appointed time; it is I who judge with equity. 3When the earth and all its people quake, it is I who hold its pillars firm. 4To the arrogant I say, 'Boast no more,' and to the wicked, 'Do not lift up your horns.New King James Version
4“I said to the boastful, ‘Do not deal boastfully,’ And to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn.
5Do not lift up your horn on high; Do not speak with a stiff neck.’ ”
6For exaltation comes neither from the east Nor from the west nor from the south.
7But God is the Judge: He puts down one, And exalts another.
8For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, And the wine is red; It is fully mixed, and He pours it out; Surely its dregs shall all the wicked of the earth Drain and drink down.
