The Book of Psalms

⭑ King James Version :: World English Bible Catholic ⭑

- Chapter 75 -

We thank you, for your name is near

(Romans 2:1-16)

Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.(a)

(b)

When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.(c)

The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.

I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.(d)

But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

For 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.

But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

We thank you, for your name is near

(Romans 2:1-16)

We give thanks to you, God. We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works.

When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly.

The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. Selah.

I said to the arrogant, “Don’t boast!” I said to the wicked, “Don’t lift up the horn.

Don’t lift up your horn on high. Don’t speak with a stiff neck.”

For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.

But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts up another.

For in the LORD’s hand there is a cup, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours it out. Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.

But I will declare this forever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
