Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) 

Psalm 75 The Voice

Psalm 75

For the worship leader. A song of Asaph to the tune “Do Not Destroy.”[a]

1 We thank You, O True God.
    Our souls are overflowing with thanks! Your name is near;
Your people remember and tell of Your marvelous works and wonders.

You say, “At the time that I choose,
    I will judge and do so fairly.
3 When the earth and everyone living upon it spin into chaos,
    I am the One who stabilizes and supports it.”[b]

[pause][c]

4 “I discipline the arrogant by telling them, ‘No more bragging.’
    I discipline the wicked by saying, ‘Do not raise your horn to demonstrate your power.[d]
5 Do not thrust your horn into the air, issuing a challenge,
    and never speak with insolence when you address Me.’”

6 There is no one on earth who can raise up another to grant honor,
    not from the east or the west, not from the desert.
There is no one. God is the only One.
7 God is the only Judge.
    He is the only One who can ruin or redeem a man.
8 For the Eternal holds a full cup of wine in His hand—
    a chalice well stirred and foaming full of wrath.
He pours the cup out,
    and all wicked people of the earth drink it up—every drop of it!
9 But I will tell of His great deeds forever.
    I will sing praises to Jacob’s True God.

10 I will cut off the horns of strength raised by the wicked,
    but I will lift up the horns of strength of the righteous.


For Reflection

There is no doubt regarding the power of God to produce righteousness amid unrighteousness. Therefore, only one will discipline the haughty and raise to glory the humble. 

Pray

Pray prayers of praise to the eternal one. Pray and realize that there is now one Earthly that can redeem humanity. Pray and drink from the cup of righteousness.
