Psalms 75:1-7

1We praise you, God, we praise you, for your Name is near; people tell of your wonderful deeds.

2You say, “I choose the appointed time; it is I who judge with equity.

3When the earth and all its people quake, it is I who hold its pillars firm.

4To the arrogant I say, ‘Boast no more,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horns.

5Do not lift your horns against heaven; do not speak so defiantly.’ ”

6No one from the east or the west or from the desert can exalt themselves.

7It is God who judges: He brings one down, he exalts another.
