Psalm 75

W. van der Kamp, 1972, et al.

1. Thee, O God, yes, Thee we praise,
   And we give Thee thanks, O LORD,
   For the proud get their reward
   And the wicked Thou shalt raze,
   But we laud Thy mercy’s fount,
   And Thy wonders we recount.
   
2. When the~appointed time is there,
   I My judgment will reveal.
   Totter may the earth and reel,
   When it has My wrath to bear;
   I did fashion it of old
   And its pillars I uphold.
   
3. To the proud and bold I say,
   “Let Me no more hear your boast.”
   I tell them and all their host
   To forsake their wicked way:
   “Do not lift your horn on high,
   Nor with outstretched neck draw nigh.”
   
4. Helpers will not from the east
   And not from the west appear
   To exalt and to revere
   Him whom God makes last and least.
   He, the Judge of great renown,
   Will lift up and will bring down.
   
5. For the LORD has filled a bowl
   With wine foaming, spiced, and strong;
   All the wicked and the wrong,
   All who hound His servant’s soul,
   Shun this cup of wrath in vain;
   E’en the dregs they have to drain.
   
6. Psalms I sing and praise I shout;
   I will pay my vows to God.
   I shall ever heed His rod;
   Jacob’s God, my joy rings out:
   All the wicked feel Thy scorn,
   But Thou shalt exalt our horn!
