Psalm 75

Melody
  1. We, O God, will sing your praise
    and our thankfulness proclaim.
    Near us is your holy name;
    just and glorious are your ways.
    People praise you everywhere
    and your wondrous works declare.

  2. “When the proper time draws near,
    I my judgment will reveal.
    Then the earth may shake and reel
    and all people quake with fear,
    but its pillars I uphold,
    I who fashioned it of old.

  3. “To those filled with pride I say,
    ‘Let me no more hear your boast.’
    I tell them and all their host
    to forsake their wicked way:
    ‘Do not proudly lift your horn;
    neither speak with haughty scorn.’ ”

  4. Helpers will not from the east
    and not from the west appear
    to exalt and to revere
    him whom God makes last and least.
    He, the Judge of great renown,
    will lift up and will bring down.

  5. From the chalice in his hand
    God himself pours out his wrath,
    heady wine that foams with froth.
    All the wicked in the land
    this most bitter cup of pain
    to the very dregs must drain.

  6. As for me, my praise I shout;
    I give thanks to Jacob’s God.
    Him I will forever laud;
    I will let my joy ring out.
    All the wicked I will scorn,
    but God will exalt our horn.
