There is no power on earth
    that can make a person important.[a]
God is the judge.
    He decides who will be important.
    He lifts one person up and brings another down.

    It is filled with the poisoned wine of his anger.
He will pour out this wine,
    and the wicked will drink it to the last drop.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 75:6 Literally, “Not from the east or the west and not from the desert mountains.”

No one from the east or the west
    or from the desert can exalt themselves.

    He brings one down, he exalts another.(B)

    full of foaming wine mixed(C) with spices;
he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth
    drink it down to its very dregs.(D)
