Psalms 75:1-7

1We give thanks and praise to You, O God, we give thanks, For Your [wonderful works declare that Your] name is near; People declare Your wonders.

2“When I select an appointed time, I will judge with equity,” [says the Lord].

3“The earth and all the inhabitants of it melt [in tumultuous times]. It is I who will steady its pillars. Selah.

4I said to the arrogant, ‘Do not boast;’ And to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn [of self-glorification].

5Do not lift up your [defiant and aggressive] horn on high, Do not speak with a stiff neck.’ ”

6For not from the east, nor from the west, Nor from the desert comes exaltation.

7But God is the Judge; He puts down one and lifts up another.
