For the music director. A psalm of Asaph. According to “Do Not Destroy.” A song.

75Verse 1We thank you, God, we thank you because you are close beside us.⁺People tell about the wonderful things you have done.
^{Verse 2}God says, “When the time I have decided comes, I will judge fairly.
^{Verse 3}When the earth quakes, and all its inhabitants tremble, I am the one who holds it steady.⁺Selah.
^{Verse 4}To those who boast I say, ‘Don't boast!’ I tell the wicked, ‘Don't be proud!’^{+
Verse 5}No, don't be proud and arrogant, insulting heaven.”^{+
Verse 6}For no one, from the east to the west, or from the wilderness, should think so highly of themselves.
^{Verse 7}God is the one who decides—who he will bring down and who he will lift up.
^{Verse 8}For the Lord has a cup in his hand, full of bubbling wine mixed with spices. He pours it out,⁺and all the wicked drink it deeply, down to the last drop.
^{Verse 9}But I will speak about you forever. I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
^{Verse 10}For God says, “I will break the power of the wicked; but I will give my support to those who do what is good.”
