1 | For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tash-heth. A Psalm of Asaph; a song. We give thanks unto thee, O God; We give thanks, for thy name is near: Men tell of thy wondrous works. |
2 | When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly. |
3 | The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have set up the pillars of it. Selah |
4 | I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly; 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 neither from the east, nor from the west, Nor yet from the south, [cometh] lifting up. |
7 | But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and lifteth up another. |
8 | For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and the wine foameth; It is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same: Surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, 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 lifted up. |
