| 1 | {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. |
