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.
