To the chief Musician , Altaschith , A Psalm or Song of Asaph .
1 Unto thee , O God, do we give thanks , unto thee do we give thanks : for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare .
2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly .
3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved : I bear up the pillars of it. Selah .
4 I said unto the fools , Deal not foolishly : and to the wicked , Lift not up the horn :
5 Lift not up your horn on high : speak not with a stiff neck .
6 For promotion cometh neither from the east , nor from the west , nor from the south .
7 But God is the judge : he putteth down one, and setteth up another .
8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture ; and he poureth out of the same : but the dregs thereof , all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them .
9 But I will declare for ever ; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob .
10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted .
