Psalm 75 - Day 75

For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm of Asaph. A song.
[a]1 We praise you, God,
   we praise you, for your Name is near;
   people tell of your wonderful deeds.
2 You say, “I choose the appointed time;
   it is I who judge with equity.
3 When the earth and all its people quake,
   it is I who hold its pillars firm.[
b]
4 To the arrogant I say, ‘Boast no more,’
   and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horns.[
c]
5 Do not lift your horns against heaven;
   do not speak with outstretched neck.’”
6 No one from the east or the west
   or from the desert can exalt themselves.
7 It is God who judges:
   He brings one down, he exalts another.
8 In the hand of the LORD is a cup
   full of foaming wine mixed with spices;
he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth
   drink it down to its very dregs.
9 As for me, I will declare this forever;
   I will sing praise to the God of Jacob,
10 who says, “I will cut off the horns of all the wicked,
   but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.”
Never thought we all had horns. It just depends on how we use them; for good or for bad. Once again we are reminded God is the one and only judge and He deals with the wicked. We must just take the back seat and let Him do His thing. It's hard at times to not say things or want to take things into our own hands. But we must trust Him to do so.
