Context of Psalms 75:9
7God is the one who judges people. He decides who to bring down and who to lift up. 8The Lord holds a cup of punishment in his hand. It is full of wine, with spices in it. The Lord pours out his anger from this cup. All the wicked people in the world will have to drink it. They will drink all of it, so that none remains. But as for me, I will always thank you, God. I will sing to praise you, the God of Jacob. 10You say, ‘I will destroy the power of wicked people. I will give strength to my righteous people.’
