Psalm
75
[Recommended tunes: v 1-4 Huddersfield, St Andrew; v 5-10 Elgin]
To
the chief Musician, Al-taschith, A Psalm or Song of Asaph.
|
1To thee, O God, do we give thanks,
we do give thanks to thee;
Because
thy wondrous works declare
thy great name near to be.
|
|
2I purpose, when I shall receive
the congregation,
That
I shall judgment uprightly
render to ev'ry one.
|
|
3Dissolved is the land, with all
that in the same do dwell;
But
I the pillars thereof do
bear up, and stablish well.
|
|
4I to the foolish people said,
Do not deal foolishly;
And
unto those that wicked are,
Lift not your horn on high.
|
|
5Lift not your horn on high, nor speak
6with
stubborn neck. But know,
That
not from east, nor west, nor south,
promotion doth flow.
|
|
7But God is judge; he puts down one,
and sets another up.
8For in the hand of God most high
of red wine is a cup:
|
|
'Tis
full of mixture, he pours forth,
and makes the wicked all
Wring
out the bitter dregs thereof;
yea, and they drink them shall.
|
|
9But I for ever will declare,
I Jacob's God will praise.
10All horns of lewd men I'll cut off;
but just men's horns will raise.
