The Hebrew Psalms in English Verse
Psalm 75
Abraham Coles
We give Thee thanks, O God!
We give Thee thanks sincere:
Thy wondrous doings in our midst
Declare Thy Name is near.
2 "I will a set time take;
The judgment-seat ascend;
Myself will judge in equity;
Myself the right defend.
3 "The earth and its inhabitants
Are falling into wreck:
I poise the pillars; I alone
The rushing ruin check.
4 "I said unto the arrogant:
'Do not lift up your horn;
5 Speak not with a stiff neck proud words
Of insolence and scorn.'"
6 For not from east or west
Nor south promotion springs:
7 But God is judge, He puts down one,
To power another brings.
8 A cup is in His hand,
It foams high o'er the brink;
The wine is mixed, the wicked shall
Its dregs wring out and drink.
9 But as for me, I will
Forever sing Thy praise;
10 Horns of the wicked I will lop,
Horns of the righteous raise.
