Psalm 75

For not from the east or from the west
and not from the wilderness comes lifting up;
but it is God who executes judgement,
putting down one and lifting up another.
For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup
with foaming wine, well mixed;
he will pour a draught from it,
and all the wicked of the earth
shall drain it down to the dregs.
But I will rejoice for ever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.


Does the psalmist drink of the foaming wine?

Do the exalted drink of the foaming wine?

Do I?

The cup is offered to all.

The wicked drain it quickly and it is gone.

May I savor it slowly, in conversation and thanks.

Psalm 75
