Psalm 74 — The Holy Bible

For the End; do not corrupt; a psalm of an ode for Asaph.

We shall give thanks to You, O God;

We shall give thanks, and call upon Your name.

I shall describe all Your wonders.

“When I seize the opportunity,

I shall judge these rightly.

The earth is dissolved and all its inhabitants;

I made firm its pillars.”

(Pause)

I said to those who transgress the law, “Do not transgress the law,”

And to those who sin I said, “Do not exalt yourselves;

Do not boast in yourselves;

Do not accuse God of wrongdoing.”

For judgment comes neither from the sunrise nor the sunset

Nor from mountains of the deserts,

For God is judge;

This one He brings down low, and that one He raises up.

For the cup in the Lord's hand

Is full of unmixed wine, a drink poured out;

And He tipped it from side to side,

But its dregs were not emptied out;

All sinners of the earth shall drink them.

But I shall greatly rejoice forever;

I shall sing to the God of Jacob.

All the horns of sinners I shall crush,

But the horns of the righteous man shall be exalted.
