For the Chief Musician; set to Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song.
We give thanks unto thee, O God;
We give thanks, {Or, for that thy name is near Thy wonderous works declare}for thy name is near:
Men tell of thy wondrous works.
When I shall {Hebrew: take.}find the set time,
I will judge uprightly.
{Or, When the earth…I set up}The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved:
I have {Hebrew: proportioned.}set up the pillars of it.
[Selah
I said unto the {Or, fools}arrogant, Deal not arrogantly;
And to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
Lift not up your horn on high;
Speak not {Or, insolently with a haughty neck}with a stiff neck.
For neither from the east, nor from the west,
Nor yet {Or, from the wilderness of mountains cometh judgment}from the {Hebrew: wilderness.}south, cometh lifting up.
But God is the judge:
He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.
For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and the wine {Or, is red}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.
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 lifted up.
Querverweise zu Psalm 75,8 Ps 75,8
Upon the wicked he will rain snares;Fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.
They that tarry long at the wine;They that go to {Or, try}seek out mixed wine.
Therefore {Another reading is, he will bring back his people.}his people return hither:And waters of a full cup are drained by them.
Thou hast showed thy people hard things:Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.
Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink;
Let his own eyes see his destruction,And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, that hast drunk at the hand of Jehovah the cup of his wrath; thou hast drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.
Thus saith thy Lord Jehovah, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath; thou shalt no more drink it again:
For thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, unto me: Take this cup of the wine of wrath at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.
Then took I the cup at Jehovah's hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom Jehovah had sent me:
And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink ye, and be drunken, and spew, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.
And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thy hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Ye shall surely drink.
And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, If any man {See marginal note on chapter 3:9}worshippeth the beast and his image, and receiveth a mark on his forehead, or upon his hand,
he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is {Greek: mingled.}prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
And the great city was divided into into three parts, and the cities of the {Or, Gentiles}nations fell: and Babylon the great was remembered in the sight of God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
