- {To the chief Musician.
'Destroy not.' A Psalm of Asaph: a Song.} Unto thee we give thanks, O God, we give thanks; and thy name is near: thy marvellous works declare it.
- 2
- When I shall receive the assembly, I will judge with equity.
- 3
- The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have established its pillars.
Selah.
- 4
- I said unto the boastful, Boast not;
and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
- 5
- Lift not up your horn on high;
speak not arrogantly with a [stiff] neck.
- 6
- For not from the east nor from the west, nor yet from the south doth exaltation [come]:
- 7
- For God is the judge;
he putteth down one and exalteth another.
- 8
- For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and it foameth with wine, it is full of mixture;
and he poureth out of the same; yea, the dregs thereof shall all the wicked of the earth drain off, [and] drink.
- 9
- But as for me, I will declare for ever;
I will sing psalms to the God of Jacob.
- 10
- And all the horns of the wicked will I cut off;
[but] the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
