Psalms 75:6

For victory does not come from the east or west, or from the wilderness. ¹ 

No-one from the east or the west or from the desert can exalt a man.

For not from the east, nor from the west, Nor from the desert comes exaltation;

For no one on earth––from east or west, or even from the wilderness––can raise another person up.

He's the One from east to west; from desert to mountains, he's the One.

For honour does not come from the east, or from the west, or uplifting from the south;

For not from the east or from the west and not from the wilderness comes lifting up;

For exaltation comes neither from the east Nor from the west nor from the south.

For victory does not come from the east or west, or from the wilderness. ¹ 

¹ tn Heb “for not from the east or from the west, and not from the wilderness of the mountains.” If one follows this reading the sentence is elliptical. One must supply “does help come,” or some comparable statement. However, it is possible to take הָרִים (harim) as a Hiphil infinitive from רוּם (rum), the same verb used in vv. 4-5 of “lifting up” a horn. In this case one may translate the form as “victory.” In this case the point is that victory does not come from alliances with other nations.
