New Living Translation

Psalms • Chapter 75

1 We thank you, O God (Elohim)!<br>We give thanks because you are near.<br>People everywhere tell of your wonderful deeds.<br> 2 God (Elohim) says, “At the time I have planned,<br>I will bring justice against the wicked.<br> 3 When the earth quakes and its people live in turmoil,<br>I am the one who keeps its foundations firm. <i>Interlude</i><br> 4 “I warned the proud, ‘Stop your boasting!’<br>I told the wicked, ‘Don’t raise your fists!<br> 5 Don’t raise your fists in defiance at the heavens<br>or speak with such arrogance.’”<br> 6 For no one on earth — from east or west,<br>or even from the wilderness —<br>should raise a defiant fist.<br> 7 It is God (Elohim) alone who judges;<br>he decides who will rise and who will fall.<br> 8 For the LORD holds a cup in his hand<br>that is full of foaming wine mixed with spices.<br>He pours out the wine in judgment,<br>and all the wicked must drink it,<br>draining it to the dregs.<br> 9 But as for me, I will always proclaim what God (Elohim) has done;<br>I will sing praises to the God (Elohim) of Jacob.<br> 10 For God (Elohim) says, “I will break the strength of the wicked,<br>but I will increase the power of the godly.”<br>
