Psalms 75 Comparison: American Standard Version vs Young's Literal Translation
Psalms 75
1We give thanks unto thee, O God; We give thanks, for thy name is near: Men tell of thy wondrous works.
2When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly.
3The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have set up the pillars of it. [Selah
4I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly; And to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
5Lift not up your horn on high; Speak not with a stiff neck.
6For neither from the east, nor from the west, Nor yet from the south, cometh lifting up.
7But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.
8For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and the wine foameth; It is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same: Surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.
9But I will declare for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; But the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
Psalms 75
1To the Overseer. `Destroy not.' A Psalm of Asaph. A Song. We have given thanks to Thee, O God, We have given thanks, and near is Thy name, They have recounted Thy wonders.
2When I receive an appointment, II do judge uprightly.
3Melted is the earth and all its inhabitants, II have pondered its pillars. Selah.
4I have said to the boastful, `Be not boastful,' And to the wicked, `Raise not up a horn.'
5Raise not up on high your horn, (Ye speak with a stiff neck.)
6For not from the east, or from the west, Nor from the wilderness is elevation.
7But God is judge, This He maketh lowand this He lifteth up.
8For a cup is in the hand of Jehovah, And the wine hath foamed, It is full of mixture, and He poureth out of it, Only its dregs wring out, and drink, Do all the wicked of the earth,
9And II declare it to the age, I sing praise to the God of Jacob.
10And all horns of the wicked I cut off, Exalted are the horns of the righteous!
