Psalms 74

1For the end, Destroy not, a Psalm of a Song for Asaph.

2We will give thanks to thee, O God,

We will give thanks, and call upon thy name:

I will declare all thy wonderful works.

3When I shall take a set time, I will judge righteously.

4The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it:

I have strengthened its pillars. Pause.

5I said unto the transgressors, Do not transgress;

And to the sinners, Lift not up the horn.

6Lift not up your horn on high;

Speak not unrighteousness against God.

7For good comes neither from the east, nor from the west,

Nor from the desert mountains.

8For God is the judge;

He puts down one, and raises up another.

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

Full of unmingled wine;

And he has turned it from side to side,

But its dregs have not been wholly poured out;

All the sinners of the earth shall drink them.

10But I will exult forever:

I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

11And I will break all the horns of sinners;

But the horns of the righteous one shall be exalted.
