Psalms 75:10
8 For a cup is in the hand of the LORD, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours from His cup, and all the wicked of the earth drink it down to the dregs.
9 But I will proclaim Him forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.
“All the horns of the wicked I will cut off, but the horns of the righteous will be exalted.”
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
