Read Psalms 73-75

 

Psalm 75 (New King James Version)

¹ We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks!
For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.

² “When I choose the proper time, I will judge uprightly.

³ The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved; I set up its pillars firmly. Selah

⁴ “I said to the boastful, ‘Do not deal boastfully,’
And to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn.

⁵ Do not lift up your horn on high; Do not speak with a stiff neck.’ “

⁶ For exaltation comes neither from the east
Nor from the west nor from the south. 

⁷  He but God is the Judge:
He puts down one,
And exalts another.  

⁸ For 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.

⁹ But I will declare forever,
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

¹⁰ “All the horns of the wicked I will also cut off,
But the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.”
