Psalm 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 cometh neither from the east, nor from the west,

nor from the desert mountains.

⁸ For God is the judge;

he putteth down one, and raiseth up another.

⁹ For there is a cup in the hand of the Lord,

full of unmingled wine;

and he hath turned it ^[1]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.
