Psalm 75

TO thee, O Lord, do we give thanks,
to thee we thankful are,
For that thy name and pow'r is near,
thy wondrous works declare.
When I th'assembly undertake,
uprightly judge I shall.
The earth and dwellers are dissolv'd,
I stay her pillars all.

To those disturbing fools, I said,
deal not so foolishly,
And to the proud and wicked men,
lift not your horn on high.
Advance not your proud horn aloft
against the Lord most high,
And against his holy decree,
speak not presumptuously.

For honour and promotion
comes neither from the East,
Nor from the South can be procur'd,
nor purchas'd from the West.
But God that governs all the world
is the great Judge alone,
He pulls down one, and setteth up
another in the throne.

God, takes into his hand a cup,
the wine therein is red,
Ready to drink, with mixture much,
and fully tempered.
Of this he poureth out, and gives
to drink to all about
The dregs, the wicked of the earth
shall drink, and wring them out.

But I for ever will declare
and publish all abroad
Thy glorious praises, I will sing
to thee, O Jacobs God.
And all the horns of wicked men
shall be cut off by me,
But the horns of the righteous shall
highly exalted be.
