Psalms 75:6
4 I say to the proud, ‘Do not boast,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn.
5 Do not lift up your horn against heaven or speak with an outstretched neck.’”
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.
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.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
