Psalms 75 Comparison: Noyes Translation (1869) vs King James Version
Psalms 75
1We give thanks to thee, O God! we give thanks to thee, and near is thy name; Men shall declare thy wondrous deeds!
2"When I see my time, Then will I judge with equity.
3The earth trembleth, and all her inhabitants; But I uphold her pillars."
4I say to the proud, Behave not proudly! To the wicked, Lift not up your horn!
5Lift not up your horn on high, And speak not with a stiff neck!
6For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south;
7But it is God that judgeth; He putteth down one, and setteth up another.
8For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup; The wine is foaming and full of spices, And of it he poureth out; Even to the dregs shall all the wicked of the earth drink it.
9Therefore I will extol him for ever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.
10"I will bring down all the power of the wicked; But the righteous shall lift up their heads."
Psalms 75
1Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
2When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
3The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
4I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
5Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.
6For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
7But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
8For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, 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 exalted.
