Hebron from an Old Engraving
Thank You, Darth Vader, For That Magnificent Psalm. They are The Mighty Trees in Our Garden Of Prayer!
Psalm 75
Thanksgiving for God’s Wondrous Deeds
To the leader: Do Not Destroy.
A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.
1We give thanks to you, O God;
we give thanks; your name is near.
People tell of your wondrous deeds.
2At the set time that I appoint
I will judge with equity.
3When the earth totters, with all its inhabitants,
it is I who keep its pillars steady.
Selah
4I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast’,
and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn;
5do not lift up your horn on high,
or speak with insolent neck.’
6For not from the east or from the west
and not from the wilderness comes lifting up;
7but it is God who executes judgement,
putting down one and lifting up another.
8For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup
with foaming wine, well mixed;
he will pour a draught from it,
and all the wicked of the earth
shall drain it down to the dregs.
9But I will rejoice* for ever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10All the horns of the wicked I will cut off,
but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
