Psalm 75Words: The Psalter of the United Presbyterian Church of North America, 1887 ed.. 1 To thee, O God, we render thanks, We render thanks to thee; Because thy wondrous works declare Thy great name near to be. 2 I purpose when I shall receive The congregation, Lord, That I will judgment uprightly To every one award. 3 The land has been dissolved throughout, With all that in it dwell, But yet its pillars I bear up, And them establish well. 4 I to the foolish people said, Do not deal foolishly; And unto those that wicked are, Lift not your horn on high. 5 Lift not your horn on high, nor speak With stubborn neck; but know, Promotion not from east, nor west, Nor from the south doth flow. 6 But God is judge, he puts down one, And sets another up. For in the hands of God Most High Of red wine is a cup; 7 'Tis full of mixture; he pours forth, And makes the wicked all Wring out the bitter dregs thereof; Yea, and they drink them shall. 8 But I forever will exult, I Jacob's God will praise. All power of sinners will cut off; But just men's power will raise. |
