1To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, A Psalm or Song of Asaph. Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: For that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
2When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
3The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
4I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: And to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
5Lift not up your horn on high: Speak not with a stiff neck.
6For promotion cometh neither from the east, Nor from the west, nor from the south.
7But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and setteth up another.
8For 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.
9But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; But the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
