PSALMS. Chapter 75. For the choir director; al tashcheth; a psalm by Asaph; a song. We give thanks to you, O God; we give thanks. You are present, and your miracles confirm that. When I choose the right time, I will judge fairly. When the earth and everyone who lives on it begin to melt, I will make its foundations as solid as rock. Selah I said to those who brag, “Don’t brag,” and to wicked people, “Don’t raise your weapons. Don’t raise your weapons so proudly or speak so defiantly.” The ⌞authority⌟ to reward someone does not ⌞come⌟ from the east, from the west, or ⌞even⌟ from the wilderness. God alone is the judge. He punishes one person and rewards another. A cup is in the Lord’s hand. (Its foaming wine is thoroughly mixed with spices.) He will empty it, ⌞and⌟ all the wicked people on earth will have to drink every last drop. But I will speak ⌞about your miracles⌟ forever. I will make music to praise the God of Jacob. I will destroy all the weapons of wicked people, but the weapons of righteous people will be raised proudly.
