Psalms 75
Easy-to-Read Version, 2006
- 1We praise you, God! We praise you because you[1] are near to us. We tell about the amazing things you have done.
- 2God says, “I have chosen a time for judgment, and I will judge fairly.
- 3The earth and all its people may shake, but I am the one who keeps it steady. Selah
- 4“To those who are proud I say, ‘Stop your boasting.’ I warn the wicked, ‘Don’t brag about how strong you are.
- 5Don’t be so sure that you will win. Don’t boast that victory is yours!’”
- 6There is no power on earth that can make a person important.[2]
- 7God is the judge. He decides who will be important. He lifts one person up and brings another down.
- 8The LORD has a cup in his hand. It is filled with the poisoned wine of his anger. He will pour out this wine, and the wicked will drink it to the last drop.
- 9I will always tell people how great God is. I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.
- 10God says, “I will take away any power the wicked have and give it to those who are good.”
