Psalms 74
1 For the end, Destroy not, a Psalm of
a Song for Asaph.
2 We will give thanks to thee, O God,
we will give thanks, and call upon thy name: I will declare all thy wonderful
works. 3 When I shall take a set time,
I will judge righteously. 4 The earth
is dissolved, and all that dwell in it: I have strengthened its pillars.
Pause.
5 I said unto the transgressors, Do
not transgress; and to the sinners, Lift not up the horn.
6 Lift not up your horn on high; speak
not unrighteousness against God. 7 For
good comes neither from the east, nor from the west,
nor from the desert mountains. 8 For
God is the judge; he puts down one, and raises up another.
9 For
there is a cup in the hand of the Lord, full of
unmingled wine; and he has
aGr. from this into that.turned it from side to side, but its dregs have not
been wholly poured out; all the sinners of the earth shall drink
them.
10 But I will exult for ever: I will
sing praises to the God of Jacob.
11 And I will break all the horns of
sinners; but the horns of the righteous one shall be exalted.
