Psalms 75:5
3 When the earth and all its dwellers quake, it is I who bear up its pillars. Selah
4 I say to the proud, ‘Do not boast,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn.
Do not lift up your horn against heaven or speak with an outstretched neck.’”
6 For exaltation comes neither from east nor west, nor out of the desert,
7 but it is God who judges; He brings down one and exalts another.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
